Diversity of the judiciary: Legal professions, new appointments and current post-holders – 2025 Statistics

Published:

The Judicial Diversity Forum (JDF), chaired by the JAC, has today published the annual Diversity of the judiciary: Legal professions, new appointments and current post-holders – 2025 Statistics.

The report brings together a range of in-depth data about the diversity of the legal professions, judicial appointments and the current judiciary.

The 2025 report continues to provide more specific details on ethnicity and contains additional data on disability and socio-economic background compared to previous years.

In addition, to further increase transparency, a new dashboard has been produced and published alongside the report. The new dashboard aims to make it easier for users to access data from previous reports and provide an alternative way to view the data.
