The United Kingdom Association of Fee-Paid Judges - the UKAFPJ
We are an association of Fee-Paid Judges, (in the Courts as opposed to tribunal judges) coming together to share our experiences and to promote the function of the fee-paid judge. We respond to consultations and keep our members informed of developments. We are members of the Judges’ Council.
There are 3,210 salaried and fee-paid court judges in England and Wales.
The UKAFPJ aims to promote greater understanding and better resolution of issues facing fee-paid judges, and in particular:
Increase understanding about fee-paid judges, their numbers, the processes by which they are selected, the barriers which may interfere with their selection and career progression with a view to achieving a judiciary which more accurately reflects the population it serve.
