A judicial nominating commission (also judicial nominating committee, judicial nominating board) in the United States, is a body used by some U.S. states to recommend or select potential justices and judges for appointments by state governments.
Judicial nominating commissions are often established by the state constitution as part of merit selection plans.
A common procedure is for the commission to receive applications for that position and forward three names to the governor, who has some number of days (often 60) to select one.
Others make recommendations for trial court judge appointments as well.
