Justices are the central component of the ACJ. Each member state appoints one Justice. The justices serve for life and can only be removed from office due to physical or mental incapacitation, death, voluntary resignation and violation of their duties and responsibilities as justices. Every judge is addressed by the title the "Esteemed" or "Honorable" followed by their name. In court proceedings, the justices are referred to as "Your Honour" or "Your Worship". The name of each Justice is followed by the post nominal JACJ, however the President of the ACJ is followed by the post nominal PACJ. Judges receive a fixed salary that cannot be arbitrarily changed by the UNAC legislative or executive branches. They are also protected from prosecution for actions carried out in their duties as justices. Failing to comply with the instructions of justices during court proceedings or treating a justice with contempt or disrespect in court is a criminal Offence. Justices are required to be judges, lawyers or legal academics in their country of origin.
