Notice Title

UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17100OME Barriers to application for judicial appointment

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 31 /08/2017 at 14:00 - DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. The Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) is undertaking a Major Review of the judicial salary structure (the Major Review) with the aim of submitting its advice to the Lord Chancellor by June 2018. Such reviews occur approximately every five years (the last was in 2010-11) to examine the suitability and soundness of the judicial pay system. The endorsed terms of reference for the Major Review and the SSRB's terms of reference are at Annex A. The SSRB will consult with an Advisory and Evidence Group (AEG) comprising representatives of different levels and jurisdictions within the UK judiciary and other major stakeholders. The purpose of this project is to provide the SSRB with qualitative information which, along with other data gathered by the SSRB outside of this project, will help the SSRB to understand the factors which influence recruitment to the judiciary. Specifically, this work will examine the reasons why some eligible people do not apply and enable a qualitative assessment as to how these factors might vary according to individual characteristics and experience and across the different levels of the judiciary. This work is modelled on the methodology used in research commissioned in 2008 by the Judicial Executive Board, The attractiveness of senior judicial appointment to highly qualified practitioners . The research would need to focus on potential candidates for the categories of the judiciary where individuals are generally appointed to the judiciary for the first time (High Court, Circuit Court, District Court and Lower Tribunal judges ) capturing reasons as to why they have not applied for salaried or fee-paid roles . Potential candidates would be identified according to criteria provided by the judicial appointments bodies for England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and in discussion with judges on the AEG as a starting point, followed by an element of "snowball" sampling (see below). A key challenge will be to identify potentially strong applicants (e.g. those who might meet quality thresholds set by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) while not implying in any way that participation in the study is an informal signal that the individual should consider applying or that they would be successful if they did.
