We have been asked to identify 80 candidates to recommend for the post of District Judge. The vacancies will arise solely on the South Eastern Circuit, which encompasses London.
The work of District Judges involves a wide spectrum of civil and family law cases such as claims for damages and injunctions, possession proceedings against mortgage borrowers and property tenants, divorces, child proceedings, domestic violence injunctions, court of protection, anti-social behaviour injunctions, committals and insolvency proceedings. Those appearing before District Judges range from King’s Counsel to litigants in person unable to read or write. This means the work that District Judges do has a significant, vital, and lasting impact on the lives of a large number of people, many of them disadvantaged and vulnerable. The jurisdiction of District Judges is the widest of any judicial appointment.
