"I can be a magistrate" campaign launched in England/Wales to recruit diverse magistrate volunteers.

On October 4, 2021, the campaign "I can be a magistrate" was launched to recruit more volunteers for the magistracy in England and Wales, especially from South East England. The initiative aims to diversify the judiciary, ensuring it reflects the communities served. Magistrates work in teams, make trial decisions, and the role is voluntary and flexible. Support and training are provided, and candidates aged 18-74 must commit to at least 13 days a year for five years.
