Supreme Judicial Commission
With reference to the proposed Supreme Judicial Commission (for selection of Supreme Court Judges), I beg to oppose the inclusion of the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association as the Member of the Commission on the following grounds:
1. The selected Judge may feel obligated to the President of the Bar or advocates who have elected him.
2. A Judge cannot perform neutrally under any obligation.
3. The Supreme Court Bar Association election is, in fact, always party based in our country.
However, the need for inclusion of a Supreme Court Advocate in the commission cannot be denied. Therefore, it is suggested that a senior non-partisan Supreme Court Advocate be selected by the other members of the Supreme Judicial Commission in their first meeting.
