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.
