I’m pleased that I can finally share that I have been appointed a Deputy District Judge by the The Lady Chief Justice, The Right Honourable the Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill. If you are not aware a Deputy District Judge is a part-time District Judge. That means I will still be practising as a barrister but I will spend at least 30 days a year ‘sitting’ in court in the Midlands.
This new role will require training which means spending a little bit less time in my practice. However, it will pay dividends as having experience from the other side of the bench will no doubt be useful for my clients.
