The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is a constitutional body responsible for interviewing and recommending candidates for judicial positions in South Africa. Additionally, the JSC addresses complaints against judges, manages the Register of Judges' Registrable Interests, and provides advice to the national government on judiciary matters.

The JSC operates under the oversight of the Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) and ensures transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within the judiciary.
