"Supernumerary" Judges A supernumerary Judge is essentially a part-time Judge. For more information on eligibility and the responsibilities of a supernumerary Judge, please refer to the federal JUDGES ACT >> |
Makeup of the Court
In addition to the Family Division, the Supreme Court also has a "general" or "trial" division. However, the terms "general" and "trial" are rarely used anymore. The two divisions are known as the "Supreme Court" and the "Supreme Court (Family Division)".
The Chief Justice administers both divisions, assisted by two Associate Chief Justices - one for each division. There is also a variable number of full-time and "supernumerary" Justices on the Court.
Upon appointment, the Justices of the Supreme Court are also ex officio members of the Court of Appeal and can be called upon to act as appellate judges when necessary.
