In his speech, Dr. Grotheer pointed out that the way the Federal Constitution Court maintains the Basic Law in Germany and protects the form of government is the root of the citizens’ confidence in the judiciary. German citizens can participate in the judgments which makes the court work more transparent. According to Dr. Grotheer, German judiciary provides comprehensive access to legal rights and a high level of refereeing quality. These all contribute to establishing a healthy national trust in the judiciary.
