Paralegals to be judges

Senior paralegals are invited to apply to become judges of first-tier tribunals (in two roles: Fee Paid Judge of the First-tier Tribunal, Social Entitlement Chamber, and Fee Paid Immigration Judge of the First-tier Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber).

Judge David Pearl, Judicial Appointments Commissioner, said: “We are keen to hear from paralegals who can provide strong evidence-based examples of why their legal experience is as good as other eligible legal practitioners because this will enable the Lord Chancellor to make his decision.”
