- Abstract
The concept of an "unblemished character" is the basic criterion by means of which the Polish legislature verifies the ethical competence of judges. The author emphasises what is needed in the democtartic rule of law - judges of good character, who are capable of arguing what is ethically right. In hard cases, a wise and noble judge can improve an imperfect law. This article aims to demonstrate that an ability to scrutinise opposing positions is an essential disposition of a judge. The author considers the concept of "moral virtue" as a legal basis for the education of judges towards an ability to find the golden mean, despite contradictory arguments.
