Allar Jõks says: the new Chancellor of Justice could be a judge or an attorney.
The constitution does not specify who elects the Chancellor of Justice. President Alar Karis appointed Ülle Madise in 2021.
If Madise becomes president, two presidents will have to jointly select a new Chancellor of Justice.
Madise's tenure as Chancellor of Justice will end. The election of a new Chancellor of Justice may be quick. Judges have already been vetted.
Attorneys may also be good candidates. But no one can become Chancellor of Justice without support.
Jõks believes: 10 people would be suitable. Character and courage are important.
Madise became Chancellor of Justice in 2015. She wants to become president. She has 77 supporters. 68 votes are needed.
