About us

The Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committees on Justices of the Peace for Merseyside deals with the recruitment of Magistrates.

The North Sefton Bench is currently seeking to recruit candidates to the magistracy.
The role of a magistrate is a voluntary role and anyone who can evidence the six key qualities set by the Lord Chancellor through two interviews can be considered.

You don't need legal experience or qualifications to be a magistrate - they come from every imaginable background.

You do need to be able to sit in court for a minimum of 26 half-days each year. Magistrates aren't paid, but many employers allow time off with pay, or you can claim a loss of earnings allowance. We welcome applications from all sectors of the community.
