The Judicial Merit System Commission was created July 1, 1998 to serve as an appeals board representing the public interest in the conduct of personnel administration in Court Service. The Commission consists of five volunteer members appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Trial Courts. The Commission meets, at a minimum, quarterly, and as needed thereafter. Terms of appointment are one, two, or three years in length to ensure diversity of the Commission. Commission members must be highly qualified to interpret policies and determine complex employment issues by virtue of education, experience and training. Preference will be given to individuals with public sector and human resources experience.

Interested individuals must submit a cover letter and resume to Court Human Resources by the close of business on Monday, June 30, 2008. Submissions are accepted by US mail, fax or e-mail.
