JSB seek Editorial Board Members for Tribunals Journal
(February 2007)
Applications are invited for membership of the editorial board for the JSB's Tribunals journal, and in particular a practitioner with experience of administrative justice.
Three issues of the journal are published each year, with the aim of providing interesting, lively and informative analysis of the reforms currently under way in different areas of administrative justice. The journal also aims to promote high standards of adjudication in tribunal hearings, including a sensitivity among the tribunals judiciary to the needs of those appearing in front of them, and to encourage a sense of cohesion among tribunal members.
The JSB is now keen to expand the membership of its editorial board, with the intention of increasing the pool of knowledge and skills available there. Successful candidates will have:
- An understanding of the needs and concerns of those appearing in front of tribunal hearings.
- The ability to contribute their own thoughts and experiences, with the aim of benefiting others.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ideally, some writing experience.
Members of the editorial board are asked to attend three meetings a year at the JSB's London office.
The closing date for this post is 30 March 2007, and interviews for those who best meet the criteria for appointment may be invited to attend a selection interview in London in April 2007.
