The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) has commissioned independent research to find out from solicitors and barristers what attracts them to - or puts them off from - applying to be a judge.
The research by the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) will take place over the next few months and will further assist the JAC to be more specific and targeted in attracting a wider range of candidates for judicial appointments.
Baroness Prashar, Chairman of the JAC, will announce this research during a session on judicial diversity, where she is speaking alongside the new Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, at an event organised by the Ministry of Justice, 'Equality in Justice Day'. Letters will be sent to more than 6,000 members of the profession informing them about the research and encouraging them to participate.
