The former Supreme Court justice who launched a blistering attack on Queensland's Chief Justice in his retirement speech will head a review into the state's controversial anti-bikie laws.

Justice Alan Wilson, whose three-decade legal career included six years on the Supreme Court bench, left the judiciary in a blaze of publicity in March, when he used his retirement speech to attack Justice Tim Carmody's unsuitability for the state's top judicial post.

The speech, and several other public spats between Justice Carmody and the judges he leads, prompted Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to warn the judiciary to "get their act together".

On Thursday morning, the premier denied critics of Justice Carmody were being given plum jobs.
