Abstract
In the 2020 constitutional amendment, the Algerian constitutional founder created an independent constitutional oversight institution to replace the Constitutional Council, and entrusted it with the task of ensuring respect for the constitution and controlling the functioning of constitutional institutions and the activity of public authorities, called the Constitutional Court.
Therefore, this research paper aims to shed light on the most important developments brought by the constitutional amendment of 2020 and the rules of procedure of the Constitutional Court regarding the membership of the Constitutional Court, especially those related to the conditions for candidacy for membership of the Constitutional Court, the term of membership, the renewal of the mandate and the legal guarantees that enshrine the impartiality and integrity of members.
