Bulgaria ranks among the top in the EU for the number of judges per capita
Bulgaria ranks among the leading countries in the European Union regarding the number of judges relative to the total population. New data shows that the country maintains high levels of judicial representation, which is a key factor in the functioning of the justice system.
According to current statistics for 2024, the average for the entire European Union is 15.7 judges for every 100,000 people. Bulgaria stands out significantly in this ranking, maintaining a stable number of magistrates to serve the needs of citizens and ensure access to justice.
An important highlight in the report is the demographic composition of the judiciary. Statistics show that more than half of the judges in the country are women. This puts Bulgaria in line with European trends regarding equality and the professional presence of women in key state institutions.
The high number of judges is essential for the efficiency of judicial processes. These data are expected to be used in future analyses to improve the work of the courts and to resolve cases more quickly for the benefit of society.
