Judicial diversity seminar for future judges

The Judicial Diversity Committee is holding an online seminar for lawyers or other fee-paid judges interested in applying for appointment as a deputy district judge. 

The seminar, on 16 June, 4.30pm-6pm, aims to help lawyers prepare to apply and will provide up to date guidance and advice on the Judicial Appointments Commission’s (JAC’s) selection process. It will be addressed by serving district judges and a JAC representative.

To reserve a place, email JudicialHRDiversityEvents@judiciary.uk by 4 June. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.

JAC expects to launch a recruitment exercise for deputy district judges in July.
