Who appoints judges to the supream court?

Answer 1

The President appoints federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, with the advice and consent of the Senate. That means the Senate must approve the President's nomination by a simple majority vote before the appointment process can be completed.

Candidates for US District Court judge are often recommended by Senators from their home state. The practice of Senatorial courtesy carries considerable weight in the appointment of federal trial court judges.

Answer 2

All federal judges are appointed by the President, at which point they must be confirmed by the Senate.

Federal judges include Supreme Court Justices, of course, but they also include judges in federal district courts (trial courts), and the circuit courts of appeal (intermediate appellate courts, they hear appeals from the federal district courts, and appeals from these courts are heard by the Supreme Court - if the Supreme Court decides to take the case).

Supreme Court justices are usually hand-picked by the president, with the help of some of his legal advisers. This is possible because there are only 9 of them, and vacancies on the Supreme Court are quite rare.

Because there are hundreds of federal judges in lower courts across the country, the President has a less hands-on role in their selection, though he still officially appoints them. When there's a vacancy, recommendations for appointments usually come from the governor or a senator from the state in which the court is located, if that person is from the same political party as the president, and the president usually follows their recommendation.

The procedure for appointing state court judges varies from state to state. In many states, judges are appointed by that state's governor, usually requiring confirmation from one or both houses of the state legislature. In other states, judges are elected.

Answer 4

Judicial appointments are made by the Governor-General on the recommendation of the Attorney-General.

For appointments to the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court, the Governor-General is advised by the Attorney-General who, by convention, receives advice from the Chief Justice and the Solicitor-General. For appointments to district courts, the Governor-General is advised by the Attorney-General who receives advice from the Chief District Court Judge and the Secretary for Justice.

Although judicial appointments are made by the Executive, it is a strong constitutional convention in New Zealand that, in deciding who is to be appointed, the Attorney-General acts independently of party political considerations. Judges are appointed according to their qualifications, personal qualities, and relevant experience.
