What is the principal function of the Judicial and Bar Council?
The Judicial and Bar Council serves as a critical screening committee for the judicial branch. Its principal function is to recommend appointees to the Judiciary, ensuring that only qualified candidates are considered by the President. Additionally, the Council may exercise such other functions and duties as the Supreme Court may assign to it over time.
