Rules for Selection of Judges - The Venice Commission recommends the Georgian government t to choose the number of judges of the Supreme Court which is essential for the management of the Supreme Court.
" Parliament should only appoint the number of Supreme Court judges which is absolutely necessary to render the work of the Supreme Court manageable. How many new judges will be needed to achieve this
should be decided after consultations with the Supreme Court. The number should not exceed half of the 18 to 20 positions that will be vacant. Further appointments may then be made by Parliament elected at the next general elections. Such a staggered approach in the appointment of all the Supreme Court judges may both alleviate the present burden on the Supreme Court and ensure that it enjoys the public trust and respect it deserves in the long run,"- reads the 16th Paragraph of the document.

The recommendations of the Venice Commission on the rules of appointment of Supreme Judges include 14 pages and 68 points.

" The second hurdle for non-judge candidates is that they have passed the judicial qualification examination. This should be reconsidered because, as indicated above, only a “specialist of distinguished qualification in the field of law” may be a candidate for judges of the Supreme Court. A person with such qualifications should not be forced to sit an examination to prove that he or she is capable of dealing with points of law, which is the essence of the work of a Supreme Court,"- is written in the 22nd paragraph.
