Message: <blockquote data-quote="WillKitchen" data-source="post: 233531" data-attributes="member: 41829">Thinking about my career in the long-term, I am interested in gaining experience as a part-time judge. You can't start official applications or mentoring schemes with the judiciary until 5-7 years PQE, of course; but I'm still researching and exploring options that might be available to me in the meantime, e.g., tribunal roles, unofficial judge shadowing. I think sitting as a part-time judge would be fantastic experience for a commercial solicitor, especially on the road to partnership, and allow me to see processes, cases, clients, etc. from a fresh point of view. Once established as an Associate, I think it would be great to sit as a judge for a few days a year. A valuable learning and professional development experience that would make me a more rounded lawyer. However, I wonder about whether I should mention any of this in VS/TC applications. It would only be one or two sentences in my application, to demonstrate long-term plans and passion for the law. But might this kind of thing be off-putting for some law firm recruitment teams?Thanks for any thoughts about this.</blockquote>
