  • Summary

    This chapter outlines the reasons behind the appointment of foreign judges in the Commonwealth. It discusses the ways in which foreign judges are appointed to national courts in overseas dependent territories and in Commonwealth member states. It also discusses how foreign judges are appointed to ad hoc tribunals or on temporary assignments for sensitive political cases or impeachment processes. The chapter draws attention to some of the challenges and pitfalls encountered as well as the advantages in using foreign judges in national courts around the Commonwealth to enrich legal and judicial developments across the Commonwealth.
