A range of senior judicial roles are now open to CILEX lawyers, after the relevant legislation came into force last week.

They can now apply to become recorders and Upper Tribunal judges; previously they were unable to apply for posts higher than district judge. The change means CILEX lawyers will be able to preside in the crown court and on appeals in important tribunal matters.

CILEX chair Professor Chris Bones said it was ‘a ground-breaking legislative change’.

ustice minister Lord Bellamy said the ‘government’s ambition is to ensure that there are no unnecessary barriers preventing CILEX members progressing their careers’.
