Lay people - Lay Magistrates

[@afghanskull7782]

The AQA textbook goes into great detail about the hiring and appointment process of Magistrates - is this something we need to know for the exam as the specification only mentions the role and powers of Magistrates,

You should follow the specification for guidance on what is examined.

Hi - Great informative video... As part of the application process or interviews, is there any written exams/tests or written answers that you have to supply, or is it all verbal? I'm very keen on applying, have already 'sat in' on a couple of court sessions for 'observation'. I'm semi retired, held senior managerial position and have been involved with disciplinaries, grievances, ET's and national wage negations with Unions... so used to understanding investigations and contradictory information etc.... However I'm concerned about the application process/written tests etc. Thanks for your help.
