The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has asked the public to submit their views on the suitability of 10 candidates shortlisted for the position of Chief Justice even as lawyers raised concern about the conduct of three applicants.

Chief Registrar of the Judiciary and the commission’s secretary Anne Amadi, in a statement, said anyone can access the candidates’ profiles posted on the commission’s website and submit a memorandum on their suitability for the top judicial job.
