Summary of the JAC qualifying test research project

Published:
Open document

This research looks at the reasons for differential outcomes observed for some candidate groups on the JAC’s qualifying test, the first stage selection tool used for large selection exercises.  

This research was designed to provide evidence that can assist all JDF organisations in further tailoring and targeting outreach and support for candidates. It is also part of the JAC’s continual review and improvement of its selection tools and reflects our commitment to supporting increased judicial diversity.
