Selection of Supreme Court justices
Selection of Supreme Court justices begins with the Judicial Nominating Commission. The Commission submits three to five names to the Governor of Rhode Island, and upon receiving the names, the Governor selects and appoints one. The appointed justice must then be approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
