Decisions adopted by a constitutional court judge, or any other judge, are under the influence of their ethics. The latter must be appropriately differentiated from the judge's personal morality, customs, law, and other value-normative phenomena. Judge's ethics include the codified judicial ethics, as well as other particular and universal ethical norms, which are interiorized by judge in the process of his socialization. Besides judicial ethics which belong to the category of practical normative ethics, the judge's legal decisions are also significantly influenced by ethics of (judge's) virtues. Codified principles of the judicial ethics should be supplemented by the principle of the judge's (self)respect. Only such a judge, who has respect for judicial vocation, and for himself as a judge, is truly motivated for a dedicated, honourable and correct performance of his judicial function.
