This list is not exhaustive, but it gives a full picture of judicial independence.

The final conclusion of this scientific article is that all available legislative guarantees which are aimed on ensuring the principle of independence of judges bears the potential to circumvent or interpret them in a convenient way. The most reliable foundation of independence is the high-quality selection of candidates for the position of judges. If a citizen by own moral, psychological and professional qualities can objectively, fairly, impartially and at the same time «graciously» approach to the resolution of the case — this will be the best foundation for his independent activity.

However, the author asserts the position that justice should be administered only by judges and the fate of people can’t be controlled by devices with artificial intelligence.
