Reforming justice in Ukraine, expanding the list of grounds for bringing to disciplinary liability of judges as subjects of labor law leads to new, unresolved issues related to the above circumstances. One of the discussion issues today is the distinction of bringing to disciplinary liability of judges for certain types of offences, namely: disciplinary offense, which consists in violation of labor and official duties or committing actions (offenses) incompatible with the official position of such person, actions (offense) that indicate dishonesty of the judge or may doubt on his integrity. Article’s main body. Consider the actual issues of special disciplinary responsibility borne by judges.Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing above-mentioned, we can draw the following important conclusions that are of relevance to the law-making process and law enforcement practice.1. Based on the research carried out, it can be concluded that special disciplinary responsibility of a judge as a variety of disciplinary responsibility, should be considered as an opportunity of an authorized subject to apply measures of disciplinary coercion against judge, which are being stipulated in relevant labor laws, charters, regulations on labor discipline in case of non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment of labor and other civil servants’ duties stemming from their labor functions, or if a special subject commits actions (offences), that indicate dishonesty of the judge or may doubt about his/her integrity which are in conflict with the official capacity to be performed by the latter.2. Special disciplinary responsibility of judges shall be understood as a duty of an authorized subject of a public authority to apply disciplinary coercion measures against judges as well as public and power restrictions, deprivations of non-monetary nature involving the necessity to undergo punishment for guilty illegal non-performance or improper performance of labor duties or for the actions that are incompatible with judge’s official capacity, as well as actions or inaction that indicate dishonesty of the judge or cause doubt about his/her integrity which are in conflict with the official capacity to be performed by the latter.3. It is essential to distinguish the prosecution measures of disciplinary responsibility against judges in case of non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment of labor and other civil servants’ duties stemming from their labor functions or, if a judge commits actions (offences), which are in conflict with the official capacity to be performed by the latter, as well as actions or inaction that indicate dishonesty of the judge or may doubt on his integrity.4. It seems appropriate to introduce certain adjustments to the theoretical advances within the scope of the disciplinary prosecution against judges not only when the judges do not fulfil their labor and other duties stemming from their labor duty functions, but also when a judge commits actions (offences), which are in conflict with the official capacity to be performed by the latter, as well as actions or inaction that indicate dishonesty of the judge or may doubt on his integrity.Key words: judge, disciplinary offence, special disciplinaryУ статті розглянуто актуальні теоретичні питання спеціальної дисциплінарної відповідальності спеціальних суб’єктів трудового права, зокрема, суддів, проаналізовано вітчизняне законодавство з порушеної проблематики та погляди науковців.
