Additional News
Example role-play film for candidates now online
From today you can see an online example of a role-play exercise of the type you might face during our selection exercises for some posts such as Recorder or Deputy District Judge.
Candidates who don't spend their working lives in court say it has helped to spend time watching or workshadowing a judge. This film is another tool to help demystify the process and help you to prepare.
The "candidate" in this example is played by an actor, in the role of a Recorder sitting at the fictitious Boltchester County Court in November 2008. Professional actors play the other main roles, as they will do in a real selection exercise.
To view the film, and for full details of how the role play is used as part of our assessment, visit http://www.judicialappointments.gov.uk/selection-process/136.htm **************************************************************** 3) UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE COLLEGE OF ARTS & SOCIAL SCIENCES GRADUATE SCHOOL OF NATURAL RESOURCES LAW, POLICY AND MANAGEMENT IHP-HELP CENTRE FOR WATER LAW, POLICY & SCIENCE, under the auspices of UNESCO LECTURER IN WATER LAW Grade 7/8: (£32,620 - £35,646 / £36,715 - £43,840) Applications are invited for a Lecturer in Water Law within the University of Dundee IHP-HELP Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science, under the auspices of UNESCO, part of the Graduate School of Natural Resources Law, Policy and Management -- the only UNESCO Centre in the UK, and the first of its kind in the world.
