JAC advertises new roles

The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) has advertised nine roles in the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court and two in the Family Division. All the posts will be based at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Within the nine, five specialists are required—three in crime, one in defamation and one in planning. Interested applicants have until 14 November 2012 to submit their application.

The appointments are expected to arise between March 2013 and March 2014. The last selection for the Queen's Bench and Family Divisions was in 2010. Appointments are on merit and the JAC encourages applications from the widest possible range of backgrounds.
