[QUOTE="xMontmorency, post: 233540, member: 32743"] It does sound nice, but sitting as a recorder in the commercial court or chancery court is not the kind of thing you typically get near to unless you're a KC. If you're interested in becoming a commercial judge, you should be thinking about the bar (or the BCL). Though I would recommend the judicial assistant scheme they have at the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, which is accessible to NQ disputes solicitors. Though if you're talking about being a judge/magistrate at family, criminal or county courts, then I can see your point about different perspectives. Kind of like doing pro bono work at a law firm. Regarding VS applications: if I were a recruiter I wouldn't really care. The fact that you [I]would like to [/I]be a judge doesn't really make you stand out, or show them why you're a good fit for the firm. Worst case they might think you don't really know whether you want to be a solicitor. [/QUOTE]
