Composition
The commission is established as the “Judicial Commission of New South Wales” as a corporation under the Judicial Officers Act 1986 (NSW). It is usually referred to as the “Judicial Commission”. There are six official members and four appointed members. The six official members consist of:
- the Chief Justice of New South Wales
- the President of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales
- the President of the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales
- the Chief Judge of the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales
- the Chief Judge of the District Court of New South Wales
- the Chief Magistrate of the Local Court of New South Wales.
The four appointed members are appointed by the Governor of New South Wales on the recommendation of the Attorney General after consultation with the chief justice.
Whilst judicial officers are members of the corporation, it is an executive body rather than a judicial body.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
