The article examines the evolution of the presidency in Poland since its re-establishment in 1989 until the present Constitution of the Republic of Poland. It analyses the regulations relating to the legal competences of the president. Many of the president’s originally broad competences have been changed or limited. The institution of the president has been included in the executive branch; however, due to the varied nature of president’s competences, it cannot be treated as an organ of the public administration.

The text aims at juxtaposing the thesis of the so-called “apoliticality” of the judiciary with the political-scientific analysis of its functioning as an institution of a political system. At the outset, the analysis is focused on demonstrating the multidimensionality of the judiciary, highlighting at the same time the features distinguishing it from the legislature and the executive. Further on, the phenomenon of judicialization of politics is elucidated. Judicialization is viewed as increased influence that the jurisdiction of the common courts exerts on the political decisionmaking process and its ramifications for the functioning of democratic political systems. The analysis encompasses deliberations on the so-called direct and indirect politicality understood as the off shoot of complex relations established between the judiciary and the remaining bodies of state authority.
