The Constitution sets no specific requirements. However, members of Congress, who often recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria. The President also typically expresses ideas about essential qualifications and personal characteristics publicly, particularly when considering nominees to the appellate courts.
