    While Baka may not have a shelf full of trophies, his career is marked by significant achievements that carry their own weight. Serving two terms as a judge at the European Court of Human Rights is a distinction few Hungarian jurists can claim. His election as president of the Supreme Court and later as head of state reflects a level of trust and respect from his peers. The 2014 ECHR judgment in his favor stands as a landmark personal victory, affirming his principles on the international stage.
