You can be appointed to the Discipline Committee for up to 5 years. You will know how long you are appointed for because it will be stated in your notice of appointment. You can be reappointed for one more term, but you cannot be in the role for more than 7 years in total. You will keep being a member until you are reappointed or someone else is appointed to take your place. You can resign from the role by giving the Judge Advocate General written notice. The Judge Advocate General can remove you from the role at any time if you cannot do the job, neglect your duties, or behave badly. You are appointed under section 160(2)(i), which explains how people are chosen for the Discipline Committee. The Judge Advocate General has the power to remove or reappoint you, and you must follow their decisions. Your role is important, and you must take it seriously and follow the rules.
