The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) is an independent body in the United Kingdom responsible for selecting candidates for judicial positions. Established in 2006, its main goal is to ensure that appointments to the judiciary are made based on merit, promoting transparency and fairness in the selection process. The JAC evaluates candidates for various roles, including judges in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal. It conducts interviews and assessments to identify qualified individuals, aiming to enhance the diversity and effectiveness of the judiciary while maintaining public confidence in the legal system.
