The Judicial Office has announced it will host a pre-application seminar on 16 April 2026, offering both in-person attendance at the Rolls Building in London and an online option via Microsoft Teams.
The event comes as the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) prepares to launch a selection exercise to recruit a new Chancery Master, a senior judicial position within the Chancery Division of the High Court.
Designed to support prospective applicants, the seminar will provide guidance on the application process and insight into the role. Attendees will hear from senior figures including the Chancellor of the High Court, a Chief Master, and serving Masters, who will outline the demands of the position and the expectations of candidates.
Organisers say the session is aimed at legal professionals with substantial experience in Chancery work, encouraging those considering a judicial career to gain a clearer understanding of the process before applying.
