About 20 other individuals hold judicial office as fee paid Employment Judges in Scotland. Such individuals may be (or have been) in professional practice as solicitors or advocates; they may be academics; or they may be retired salaried Employment Judges.

Additionally, about 100 individuals hold judicial office as non-legal (or “lay”) members of Employment Tribunals. They sit with Employment Judges on some cases, where one member will have experience of work from the view of management and the other member from the view of employees or trade unions.

For further information about when non-legal members will sit on cases, see the Senior President of Tribunals’ Practice Direction (PDF) and the Joint Presidential Guidance on Panel Composition (PDF).
