The next recruitment drive for judges is about to begin and, in a departure from the norm, no previous judicial experience is required. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is seeking to appoint a further 54 salaried employment judges across England & Wales. Normally, experience as a fee-paid judge would be required but the MoJ has discarded this requirement. Applications can be made from 19 June until 3 July, and the successful candidates will be announced in January 2019. The posts come with a £108,171 salary, plus London allowances.
