The subject matter of this article is to compare the regulations of Romanian, Polish and German guarantees of the right to an impartial court within the context of a judge disqualification in a court-administrative proceeding. The comparison of Romanian, Polish and German regulations pertaining to judge disqualification in court-administrative procedure leads to a conclusion that there are some significant distinctions among those regulations. It is worth noticing that the Polish court-administrative procedure is the only one, out of the three analyses systems, which could be featured as fully autonomous. At the same time both the Romanian as well as the German regulations depend on a reference to their civil procedures.

All three legal systems underline the importance of the regulations on the judge’s professional status within the context of providing conditions for impartial adjudication.
