The Bailiff is the first civil officer in each of the Channel Island bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, serving as president of the legislature and the Royal Court.
The Bailiff is appointed by the Crown, and generally holds office until retirement age (65 in Guernsey, 70 in Jersey).
From this time on it was clear that the bailiff, as president of the States, was the chief power in Jersey, although the process of democratisation through the 19th and 20th centuries has shifted the focus of political influence to the elected members of the States.
