At some point, it was 17 stages, including written examinations, interviews and role-play exercises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are subjected to rigorous background investigations covering professional credentials and abilities, public records, judicial pronouncements, personal financial affairs, evaluation by the bar association on integrity, professional competence and judicial temperament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in the US, supreme court appointments involve rigorous public screening by the senate, which sifts through the entire public, and sometimes private lives of candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is the nature of the rigour that anyone who should hold the power of life and death, and power over other people\u2019s livelihoods, should go through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be a \u2018take a bow\u2019 situation at all. It must be rigorous because the moment the person is appointed into a high office of that sort, they are unleashed as it were on the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe robustness and transparency of the processes in these jurisdictions provide comfort to the candidates of the fairness of the selection process and enables the public to have front-row seat in some of these processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the remuneration of judicial officers, Osinbajo said the conditions under which they operate should be good enough to attract the best of minds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudicial remuneration and welfare are critical,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy should a judge earn so much less than a federal legislator? There is no basis for it whatsoever. We should in fact benchmark without necessarily creating fresh legislation because the legislature doesn\u2019t have any legislation about their own salaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth of the matter is that the responsibilities of the judge or justice of the supreme court\/court of appeal are such they must be well remunerated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are such that when they retire, they must be able to go to homes that they own in decent places where they live.
