Circuit judges wanted

The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) is launching a selection exercise in July 2023 to recruit circuit judges. 

It is holding a seminar online via Microsoft Teams on 10 July from 5pm-6pm for anyone interested in applying. The seminar aims to help attendees be better prepared to make an application and provides guidance and advice on the JAC’s selection process. The panel will include two circuit judges and a representative from the JAC.

Circuit judges sit in the Crown, County Courts and Family Courts.
