Before applying for a role, you should think carefully about whether you are ready. The below tools allow you to self-assess your eligibility and suitability. The results will give you a broad indication of your readiness to apply for entry-level fee-paid judicial roles that require legal qualifications.
Test yourself on:
- eligibility: do you meet the statutory eligibility requirements for fee-paid judicial roles? You should also consider the eligibility requirements for this specific post
- good character: do you satisfy the JAC’s guidance on good character?
- suitability: do you understand what sort of decisions you would need to make in situations you may face as a judge? (these questions are similar to those used in some qualifying tests so can provide useful preparation for tests)
- Selection Day: do you understand what you will need to be successful during a selection day
For those applying for senior judicial roles, you should seek feedback from a senior judge and any mentors about your readiness to apply.
