Attention was also paid to issues of personnel management under martial law. The purpose of the article is to determine the main trends and directions of personnel management in the judicial system of Ukraine during the period of transformation and reform. As a result, the author made conclusions regarding the identification of trends and challenges in the modern conditions of personnel management of the judicial system of Ukraine.
Studying the current state of personnel management in the judicial system allows us to identify several trends that have a significant impact on the quality and efficiency of court work. First, there is the issue of the liquidation of courts, which began in 2017 and the associated procedure of reducing staff: in most of these appeal courts, financial issues were not settled, which caused the continuation of payments in the form of judicial fees without exercising powers, when a person received money for unfinished work. Secondly, there were cases when judges did not pass a qualification assessment and were not transferred to newly formed courts or were in the process of appealing decisions of the Supreme Court of Ukraine of Ukraine, and the mechanisms for settling disputed issues in the process of liquidation with those employees who were in social vacations.
