Academics, women, BAME and those from a state school or who are the first in their family to go to university and who may be considering applying for their first judicial position are invited to a pre-application seminar in Nottingham on 18 October, 2pm to 5.30pm. The event is being arranged as part of the Judicial Diversity Committee’s support programme. It aims to ensure first-time applicants are better prepared for the selection process, and will provide up-to-date guidance and advice. A serving judge will also talk about their experience of judicial office. Places will be available on a first come, first served basis. For more information, see here.
