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).

UCL Laws has launched the Judicial Institute, the UK’s first research centre focusing on the judiciary. The Institute will look at how judges are appointed, how they reach decisions, the operation of the courts and the relationship between the judiciary and other social institutions and branches of government.
