The hunt is on for the next two Justices of the Supreme Court, following the retirement of Lord Lloyd-Jones and Lady Arden

The strictly governed appointments process began last week, with a midday, 4 March deadline for applications. Once shortlisting, interviews and consultation have taken place, the names of the two successful candidates will be announced, with a view to them taking up office in early summer.

Meanwhile, the court has launched a raft of support for prospective candidates, including familiarisation visits where candidates can enjoy a tour of the building and a private meeting of up to one hour with a current Justice not directly involved in the appointments process. It is also releasing a series of short videos, podcasts and a webinar on the role and selection process. See here for more information.
