The Premier’s office invites applications from qualified individuals interested in serving as a member of the Judicial and Legal Services Commission (“Commission”), in accordance with section 94 1(d) of the Virgin Islands Constitution Order (2007). Two of the members on this Commission are appointed by the Governor, one of whom is chosen on the advice of the Premier. The appointment will be made through a competitive selection process adhering to the Protocol for Appointment and Removal of Statutory Board Members.

Members of the Commission, as stipulated in section 95 (1) of the Constitution, will advise the Governor on appointments to legal offices outlined in section 95 (4) of the Constitution, recommend the removal of appointments from these offices, and provide counsel on disciplinary measures concerning officers in such roles. The Governor retains the authority to dissent from the Commission's advice if adherence would compromise His Majesty’s Service.
