How did Tomasz Szmudt join the National Council of the Judiciary?
Tomasz Szmydt joined the National Council of the Judiciary in 2018. The then head of the council, Leszek Mazur, was looking for two positions: head of the office and head of the legal department of the National Council of the Judiciary. Tomasz Szmydt was recommended for the second job. His candidacy was to be proposed by Łukasz Piebiak, who was at that time the deputy minister of justice.
– His duties included supervising the work of assistants who prepared draft resolutions and justifications for resolutions in judicial competitions. In addition, it included giving opinions on legal acts, preparing internal regulations, cooperating with a legal advisor, issuing opinions on various issues of the functioning of the Council – explained Leszek Mazur in Rzeczpospolita, adding that Tomasz Szmydt had access to all documents related to personal competitions, retired etc.
The former head of the National Council of the Judiciary admitted that he was not entirely satisfied with the work of Tomasz Szmydt. – He was not very hard-working, and besides, he was not entirely familiar with the issues for which he was responsible in the council office. As a result, even though Szmydt was formally the director of the legal department, I benefited from the cooperation with the previous director – he explained.
