Essay plan – judges and the UK judiciaryResearch question: To what extent could it be argued that there isn't a sufficient level of diversity
within the UK judiciary system?
Some points which will be included in the essay: judges (e.g. judicial appointments; diversity in the
judiciary; the role of lay magistrates, law making/interpreting role)
The main function of the judiciary system within the UK is to protect and to improve the law, as well
as to solve other matters within the legal system.
Over the years there has many been debates about the diversity of the judicial system. Diversity in
the judiciary system takes into account genders, age, ethnicity and etc of judges. As well as other
demographic factors such as religion and social economic background.

Points against which will be used= age, gender, the background of judges, ethnicity of judges

Just eight out of 38 court of appeal judges and 21 out of 106 high court judges are
women 1. source found from the guardian.
