Composition
The President of the Supreme Court is elected and relieved of duty by the Croatian Parliament at the proposal of the President of the Republic.
Judicial office is permanent, but exceptionally, at assuming the judicial office for the first time, judges are appointed for a five-year term. After the renewal of the appointment, judges assume their duty as permanent.

A judge can be relieved of judicial office:
- at his/her own request
- if he/she has become permanently incapacitated to perform judicial office
- if sentenced for a criminal offence which makes him/her unworthy of the judicial office
- if, in conformity with the law, so decides the National Judicial Council due to the commitment of an act of serious infringement of discipline
