Appointments To The Provincial Court in Each Province

Each province has its own procedures for appointment to its provincial court. Generally, candidates for these courts submit an application to a reviewing council or committee established for the province. After investigations and consultations, this body reports to the appropriate provincial Minister of Justice or Attorney General regarding those considered suitable for appointment. Appointments to the provincial court are made from that list of names.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To rear a tiger is to court calamity.
