Next month, the Judicial Appointments Commission will open applications for 25 district judge positions across the Midlands, North East, Northern, South West and Wales Regions. 

To assist potential candidates, the Judicial Office will hold an online pre-application seminar which will take place on 23 April at 5pm.

Candidates must have five years’ post-qualification legal experience and are expected to have at least 15 sitting days as a judge or in a quasi-judicial capacity. District judges sit in a range of civil and family cases such as divorces, child proceedings, damages claims, injunctions and insolvency proceedings.
