Whilst I approve of the light being shed on the disparity of women and ethnic minorities in the legal profession, I do not agree with women being chosen purely because they are women or of an ethnic minority or both. Shocking that more people did not respond to the consultation and also what counts as equal merit?
Ethnic minority and women applicants to the bench could be chosen ahead of white men of equal merit under a scheme given a final go-ahead by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) today.
