This paper examines the contributions of international conventions and instruments to judicial corruption particularly in Nigeria. It also analyse judicial corruption as a global problem but particularly in developing countries such as Nigeria. It acknowledged the importance of the domestication of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption to fight judicial corruption. This led to the enactment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004 which has been a potent statute in fighting corruption in Nigeria. Curbing corruption will result in increase in public trust in the affairs of governance. The paper concludes with a call for fairness and transparency in judicial appointments and a corrupt free judiciary. It also calls on the National Judicial Council to be truly independent and extricate itself from the strings of the executive in order to reposition the Nigerian judiciary for public trust and confidence.
