This research article aims to identify the governance of the judiciary in various aspects (transparency, rule of law, participation, accountability, justice, and equality) and its impact on the development of constitutional judicial powers. To centralize the authority and achieve judicial goals within the state, reforms must be implemented. The concept of judicial governance was previously nonexistent, with some viewing judicial power as separate entities performing their duties independently. However, due to developments that the world has witnessed, the responsibilities of the constitutional judiciary have increased, leading to the adoption and application of governance principles. This can only be achieved through promoting the concept of governance and implementing its principles in all state institutions, particularly those of a constitutional nature. This includes reforming the institutional structure to recover the powers to the judiciary, which serves as the arbiter, separator, and balancer among all branches of government.
