Judicial Selection Committee

Judicial Selection Committee (Dutch: Gerechtelijk Selectiecomité; Faikangnese: 司法遴选委员会; Prussiatian: Richterliche Auswahlkommission) is an independent body within the Geurighaven government. The committee is responsible for the selection of new judges to the Geurighaven Supreme Court and to ensure it's. It was created after the passing of the Judges Bill in 1975.
== Prior to Judges Bill ==
Prior, the Supreme Court Judge is appointed by the Justice Minister and has to be voted on by the Geurighaven Legislative Assembly. Sometimes, the Judges who were appointed were often partisan and the right wing parties feared that the Supreme Court would be full of left wing judges.
== Judges Bill ==
In 1975, the LegAss passed the Judges Bill, which stipulates methods of appointing judges (among other things). This bill proposed that the President will appoint the judges, at the suggestion of the Minister of Justice, in accordance with the recommendation by a committee of these ten members: the Justice Minister; The President (committee chairman); Chief justice and deputy Chief Justice and another judge of the Supreme Court; the Attorney General two LegAss members; and two members of the Geurighaven Bar Association.
