Representative Democratic Model- Selectable Offices Part Thirty-Five (Session Three)-
Chief Justice Of Main State Appellate Courts

The Chief Justice of the State Court Of Appeals, or any state appellate court which deals with criminal cases, should still be nominated by the Vice-Governor. However the State House of Delegates/Assembly should submit the three bids for the Vice-Governor to choose from. Once the Vice-Governor nominates his/her choice for this chief justice, the State Senate confirms that choice if the majority of all its members approve. 

If a majority of all state senators, provided quorum limits are met (two-thirds of all its members must vote), are unable to confirm the nominee, the process of the bid submittal by the state lower house again commences. They again submit their three top bids and the Vice-Governor chooses his/her nominee from that new submittal along with the two other bids who were not earlier nominated.  

Cliff Notes Version: Each member of the House Of Delegates/Assembly, out of the pool of interested applicants, submits his/her choice for chief justice of the state appellate court which deals with criminal cases. The three candidates who are chosen by the highest number of state lower house members are then submitted as bids to the Vice-Governor for his eventual nomination.

The State Senate confirms that choice if the majority of all its members approve.
