The Independence Of The Judge Selection Committee

The institution of the provincial judge selection committee is the emphasis of our country’s judicial reformation,it’s the first time we try this institution so there is no precedent we can reference.The purpose of judge selection committee is to remedy our judge selection system’s shortage,include the lack of the evaluation of judge’s professional quality and the guarantee of judge’s independent. From the point view of the legal theory,the judge selection committee has the power of nomination,it should be independence to insure its neutrality and has great meaning for the independence of judiciary.The independence of the judge selection committee should be guaranteed by detailed system,such as the independent office of the judge selection committee,the various sources of the members and the procedure without interference.Many countries have their judge selection committees,for example, the USA’s federal judiciary committee,the German judge selection committee,the Japanese lower court judges advisory committee,and the British judicial appointments commission.These systems can give us the reference.Our judge selection committee’s shortage of independence should be corrected by theoretical aspect and practical aspect.
