Judges and officials are typically nominated by the executive branch of government, such as the President or a governor, depending on the jurisdiction. In some cases, nominations may require confirmation by a legislative body, like the Senate in the United States. The nomination process can vary by country and level of court, with some systems allowing for judicial councils or other bodies to play a role in the selection process.
