Role-play film for candidates

You can view an online example of a role-play exercise this will give you insight to the type of situation you might face during JAC's selection exercises for some posts such as Deputy District Judge or District Judge.

Candidates who don't spend their working lives in court say it has helped to spend time watching or workshadowing a judge. This film is another tool to help demystify the process and help you to prepare.

The "candidate" in this example is played by an actor, in the role of a Recorder sitting at the fictitious Boltchester County Court in November 2008. Professional actors play the other main roles, as they will do in a real selection exercise.

To view the film, and for full details of how the role play is used as part of JAC assessment, visit the JAC website.
