The role of a judge is to interpret the law in court proceedings, they will also have the role of hiring people for the role of solicitor and carrying out sessions in court. Judges are also responsible for the flow of a trial and it’s their duty to make sure everyone involved knows what they’re doing. Judges are responsible for reviewing warrants, vehicle scraps and licence bans submitted by the police, along with any other requests that need to go through the court. It is advised to become a solicitor before attempting judgeship.

Solicitor

A solicitor is an individual who has been licensed by the court to carry out legal representation on behalf of the prosecution, or the defense. They can also act as duty solicitors in the cells, representing clients to the police after having been arrested. You can apply for the role of solicitor by walking up to our very own Frank, located on the first floor of City Hall, and filling out the short application form. Many different job opportunities are available and being a solicitor provides a rewarding experience allowing you to carve out your own path in the city.

Solicitors who show themselves to excel at the job may be able to progress up the legal ladder to be judges themselves.
