 Registration is closed for this event

The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) will be launching a selection exercise in November to recruit District Judges. This exercise is for 80 vacancies in London and the South East only. 

The seminar

The Judicial Office is organising a pre-application seminar that will take place online via Microsoft Teams on Thursday 14th November 2024 5-6:15pm.

The seminar aims to help applicants be better prepared to make an application and to receive up-to-date guidance and advice on the JAC’s selection process. As well as the JAC, you will also hear from current serving District Judges.

There will be another District Judge Pre-Application Seminar on Wednesday 20th November 5-6:15pm if you are unable to make this date.

 

Who should attend?
Candidates must have 5 years post qualification legal experience and are expected to have at least 15 sitting days as a judge or in a quasi-judicial capacity.

Applications are particularly welcome from under-represented groups (women, ethnic minority candidates, disabled candidates, solicitors and Chartered Legal Executives).

Training is provided for all appointed.
