Abstract

U ovom radu, autor analizira pravni standard 'istaknuti pravnik' kao poseban uslov za izbor sudija ustavnog suda. On, najpre, objašnjava zašto je ovaj uslov tako kasno propisan Ustavom u Republici Srbiji. Zatim, izlaže koje su prednosti, a koji nedostaci preciznijeg definisanja ovog uslova. Autor, takođe, daje svoje viđenje šta je, u suštini, istaknuti pravnik. On analizira i druge ustavne odredbe o Ustavnom sudu Srbije koje su u vezi s ovim uslovom. Na kraju, predlaže šta u Ustavu, a šta u ustavnoj kulturi treba menjati da bi Ustavni sud postao središte 'pravničke aristokratije'.
