Requesting a visit from a Diversity and Community Relations Judge or Magistrate
Diversity and Community Relations Judges (DCRJs) and Magistrates (DCRMs) play an important role in bridging the gap between the judiciary and the community.
Their activities inform and educate people about the reality of what it is to be a judge and helps remove the myths and misconceptions that prevail. It is hoped this will encourage wider interest in the law and ultimately judicial office.
If you would like one of these judges and/or a magistrate to visit your school or university either in person or via an online session, you may request this by completing this online form (external link).
As the judiciary are keen to engage with student populations from backgrounds underrepresented within the judiciary, priority will be given to requests from:
- Non-fee-paying schools
- Schools in areas of higher socio-economic disadvantage
- Schools with diverse student populations
