Bulgaria is among the top five EU countries in terms of the number of judges relative to the population
Bulgaria ranks fourth in the European Union in terms of the number of judges per 100,000 inhabitants. This is shown by the latest data published by the European statistical office, Eurostat.
According to the report, our country maintains a high number of magistrates compared to the other member states of the union. The statistics measure the number of judges working in the judicial system relative to the total number of residents in the country.
The high ranking of Bulgaria in this list is a subject of interest for analysts and legal experts. They view the data as an indicator of the structure and workload of the judiciary in the country.
Eurostat regularly prepares such comparative analyses to track how institutions work in different European countries. These data help European institutions compare the efficiency and access to justice throughout the European Union.
