Taipei, May 27 (CNA) Vice President Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) announced Monday a list of four nominees for the Council of Grand Justices, the main body of the Judicial Yuan.

Chen was appointed in March to head a committee to select candidates to fill four seats on the Constitutional Court.

The four grand justice nominees are Shieh Ming-yan (謝銘洋), a professor of law at National Taiwan University, Judicial Yuan Secretary-General Lu Tai-lang (呂太郎), Kaohsiung High Administrative Court President Yang Hui-chin (楊惠欽) and Minister of Examination Tsai Tzung-jen (蔡宗珍).

The four positions on the Constitutional Court will become vacant Sept. 30 when incumbent grand justices Chen Be-yue (陳碧玉), Huang Hsi-chun (黃璽君), Lo Chang-fa (羅昌發) and Tang Te-tsung (湯德宗) step down at the end of their eight-year terms.
