Judicial Nominating Commission

A Judicial Nominating Commission is a panel that assists in the selection of judges. When a position on the bench opens, this commission reviews applications, interviews candidates, and evaluates their qualifications, experience, and suitability for the role. The commission then recommends a shortlist of candidates to the appointing authority, such as a governor or president, who ultimately makes the final appointment. This process aims to ensure that judicial appointments are based on merit, promoting a fair and impartial judiciary that upholds the rule of law.
