Abstract
The author analyzes the history and features of forming the Superior Council of Magistracy, which is one of the highest constitutional bodies of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria. The article reveals the changes that were observed in its composition at various historical stages of the existence of the independent Algerian state. The author considers the relevant provisions of constitutions, organic laws and other legislative acts. The Superior Council of Magistracy as a constitutional body was featured at every stage of the country’s development since political independence in 1962, from the provisions of the first Constitution of 1963 to the constitutional amendments of 2020, which introduced significant changes both in terms of the composition itself and the procedures for its formation. It was related to the political development of Algeria, which, since 2019, has witnessed protests and demonstrations demanding deep reforms, including judicial one.
