Abstract
In recent years the preliminary references to the CJEU of Polish courts have contributed a lot to the development of standards of national judicial independence against the background of the principle of effective judicial protection (Art. 19 TEU/Art. 47 CHFR). It became clear that national judges see in EU law an opportunity to protect themselves from attacks on their independence by the executive and legislative branches. They thus see EU law as a shield that can protect national courts, the Polish legal system, and Polish citizens against violations of judicial independence and the value of the rule of law (Art. 2 TEU).
