In May 2011, the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution called for evidence in relation to the judicial appointments process.
The scope of the Committee's enquiry invited evidence on nine themes ranging from the assessment of the process to the inpact of the Human Rights Act (1998) upon constitional arrangements.
The Committee asked for responses to 22 questions - one of which related to Northern Ireland: "How would you assess the judicial appointments process in Northern Ireland, in particular in relation to the Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Board?"
This is the response of the Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission
