The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) launched a recruitment exercise for 100 district judges across all regions of England and Wales this week.
Prospective recruits have until 28 September to apply. Typical work includes divorce cases, insolvency proceedings, emergency injunctions and case management issues.
Lord Chancellor Alex Chalk said: ‘This exercise comes at a time of meaningful new policy developments across private and public family law. The pilots adopting a more conciliatory courtroom approach in private law cases are looking very promising, and a review of expediting dispute resolution and mediation is underway following the recent government consultation.’
