About NIJAC

The Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission (NIJAC) was established in June 2005 as an independent public body established to bring about a new system for appointing members of the judiciary in Northern Ireland.

NIJAC’s aim is to secure and provide the community with, so far as is reasonably practicable to do so, a judiciary which is reflective of the community in Northern Ireland with all appointments made solely on the basis of merit.
