Judicial Outreach Mentoring Scheme

Please complete the registration details below to begin your application.

Once we have received your application, the Judicial Office will identify a mentor who matches your requirements as close as we possibly can because it won’t always be possible to meet all your preferences. The aim will be to match a mentor who currently holds, or who has held, the judicial role of interest and who is based within reasonable travelling distance. Previous participants of the scheme appreciated the varied experience that judges bring, which is why we think you will benefit from being mentored by any judge regardless of their current role. This also means that applicants won’t have to wait too long to be matched up.

Once a suitable match has been identified, you will be provided with the mentor’s contact details so that you can make the initial approach. 

In the event that the Judicial Office is unable to identify a suitable mentor at the time of your application, you will be notified and invited to apply when the scheme opens again.
