Appointments and Diversity
DCA Research Report
11 April 2006
Researchers from Queen Mary, University of London were
commissioned to investigate the link between assessment centres
for judicial appointments and diversity. This report covers their
findings. The report was completed in March 2006.  The report
cautions that assessment centres alone cannot enhance the
diversity of judiciary – they need to be used alongside a range of
strategic interventions.
