  • Summary

    For eight years between 2011 and 2019, I, a French professor of law, served as a judge of the Constitutional Court of Andorra, the only woman to have been appointed to that Court since its establishment in 1993. This chapter presents a critical analysis of being a judge in Andorra, informed by the distinctive history and features of constitutional justice in the small state situated between two powerful European neighbours, and by my own personal experience. It provides insights into how the process of appointing judges and the organisation of work within the Constitutional Court accommodate foreign judges, and how diversity on the bench – in terms of the legal culture, mastery of language, professional training, gender, and the psychology of the judges – influences the way in which constitutional justice is delivered in Andorra.
