Overview of the Selection Process

The Northern Ireland Judicial Appointment Commission’s (NIJAC’s) selection processes are designed to enable NIJAC to select persons for judicial office on the basis of merit, having considered their eligibility, suitability and integrity.

Once an applicant has submitted their application the process of selection has four distinct phases, those being;

  • Eligibility
  • Shortlisting
  • Final Assessment
  • Pre-Appointment Checks
