Experience in our judicial system and a strong knowledge of what makes good judges is extremely important to the role of a Governor's Councillor. This experience is needed in order to be an effective representative.
The main purpose of the Governor's Council is to protect the citizens from bad judges, or persons not suited for a judgeship. A good Councillor should do a thorough background investigation on the candidate and should always vote with the best interests of the citizens first.

The person who holds a seat on the Governor's Council should be of good moral character and have strong personal integrity while providing an in-depth understanding of the Commonwealth's laws. Ideally, a Councillor should also have experience in our legal system and be dedicated to and passionate about our judicial system. |
