[1] There are also 13 Supreme Court masters, who hear and dispose of a wide variety of applications in chambers.

The Supreme Court is also responsible for call ceremonies for admitting lawyers and notaries public where the respective oath of office is administered by a justice.

Masters are appointed by the provincial cabinet, on recommendation of the Attorney General in consultation with the Chief Justice.

Masters preside in chambers, where they usually hear interlocutory applications and other pre-trial matters.

The Supreme Court sits in eight judicial districts called "counties".
