In 2012, the awards committee decided to recognize the Bulgarian Institute for Legal Initiatives (BILI) with the Golden Key award as the NGO which most actively exercised the right to information in their work for increasing transparency in the judicial system. Especially remarkable is their initiative of creating public profiles of the magistrates which are online available at: http://judicialprofiles.bg/profiles/page/2/.

The BILI is among the organizations which have led the campaign for more transparency of the nominees for members of the Inspectorate of the Supreme Judicial Council and for members of the Supreme Judicial Council.The BILI also seeks defense of the right to information in court. They challenged the refusal of the Inspectorate of the Supreme Judicial Council to provide access to an inspection report about a nominee for a member of the same Inspectorate. The Administrative Court – Sofia City repealed the refusal.
