Becoming a judge – free workshops for Black, Asian and ethnic minority lawyers

Have you considered becoming a judge? Do you feel like you need more background and guidance on the judicial application process? The Law Society is running a number of free workshops for Black, Asian and ethnic minority lawyers.

Join a free workshop to:

  • feel more confident about applying
  • prepare for the process
  • hear from judges about their experiences

The 2023 course consists of two half-day workshops, taking place as a virtual, judge-led discussion group:

  •  led by a former Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) lay panel member 
  • supported by sitting judges who can provide you with credible feedback

The workshops take place in September/October: 

  • Monday 4 September, 5.30pm to 9pm
  • Monday 11 September, 5.30pm to 9pm
  • Monday 2 October, 5.30pm to 9pm
  • Monday 9 October, 5.30pm to 9pm

You should:

  • have a minimum of seven years’ post-qualified experience (PQE)
  • be considering applying for a judicial appointment in the near future

Candidates who’ve completed, or applied for, the Pre-Application Judicial Education (PAJE) programme are strongly encouraged to apply.

Applications are open between Monday 10 July and Friday 28 July.
