Tribunals Procedure Committee Members

Voluntary roles: half-day meetings in London, several times per year

3 year term

These positions as Tribunals Procedure Committee Members are appointments made by the Lord Chancellor. They are voluntary roles that will see you contributing to the rules governing practice and procedure in the First-tier and Upper Tribunals.

These Tribunals exist to resolve disputes and handle appeals between individuals and government agencies – these can include everything from issues relating to child support claims through to war pensions, mental health and immigration.

Within this setting, you’ll attend half-day meetings every one or two months (frequency of meetings depends on current priorities), to discuss and help develop the rules governing the practice and procedure of these Tribunals. With your help, we’ll ensure that the Tribunal system remains accessible, fair and efficient.

Ideally with a legal background and understanding of the Tribunals system, you’ll need the ability to travel to London for meetings. In addition, you should have good communication, negotiation and debating skills.
