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.
