What it does

Administers the statutory special independent prosecutor mechanism.[sources]

In everyday life

Autonomy or independence described by statute does not create a fourth constitutional branch. Examine the responsibilities, controls, and attachments established by current law.

Where it fits

No organizational relationship has been established with sufficient evidence. This does not mean the institution has no relationships.

Map groupings support navigation; they do not themselves establish reporting authority.

Legal basis

Act 2-1988, as amended[references]

The enabling reference is a reading aid. Consult applicable texts and amendments in official sources; directory cards can retain older references.

Governance & composition

The Panel describes three regular members and two alternates, all former judges. The governor appoints them with advice and consent of the legislative bodies. The present roster and individual dates are not certified here.[Sources & method]

Members, vacancies, and terms are not certified as a complete roster. An expired term is not automatically treated as a vacancy; some laws allow service until a successor qualifies.
