2. The Department's key constitutional mandate is the administration of Justice. The Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Act, 2012, which was signed into law in February 2013, affirms the Chief Justice as Head of the Judiciary. The Act also makes the Chief Justice responsible for overseeing the development and monitoring of norms and standards for the performance of all courts. The Superior Courts Bill accompanies the Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Act. The implementation of legislation will result in the migration of the administration of the Superior Courts to the Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ), as well as the assignment to the OCJ of certain functions flowing from the Superior Courts Bill, the Judicial Service Commission Act, 1994, and the Judges Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act, 2001.
