- Judicial Service Commission (Fiji)
The Judicial Service Commission of Fiji is established by of the Fijian Constitution. It is chaired by the Chief Justice; the other two members of the Commission are the Chairperson of the Public Service Commission and the President of the Fiji Law Society.
After consulting the Prime Minister, the appropriate Cabinet Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, and the parliamentary committee overseeing the administration of justice, the Judicial Service Commission nominates candidates for all judicial offices, except that of the Chief Justice, for formal appointment by the President. It is also authorized to appoint Magistrates, a central agricultural tribunal (to administer the Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Act), and any other judicial offices that may be established by Parliament. Parliament may also empower the Commission to make appointments to non-judicial offices. The Commission must obtain the Prime Minister's approval if a non-citizen is to be appointed to a judicial office (other than that of a judge).
The Commission is also empowered to investigate complaints against judges and officials of courts that are subordinate to the High Court, and may take disciplinary actions against them. The Commissioners are entitled to whatever allowances Parliament may determine.
