b) The judiciary’s website should clearly present
names and biographies of sitting judges organised
195
by jurisdiction.
c) The JAC and the judiciary should provide a joint
picture of the selection process and outcomes
from exercise to appointment, when not barred by
confidentiality concerns.
d) The judiciary should consider adding (or bringing
back) information about religious group and belief
for sitting judges (assuming it is already collected
as part of the diversity monitoring process). This
may assist with more accurate ethnicity data
collection.
e) Eligible pool data should be available for all legal
exercises.
f) Social mobility data should be provided for sitting
judges.
g) Diversity data on the composition of appointing
and selection panels including ad-hoc panels
(including professional background) needs to be
published.
h) Efforts need to be made to ensure that those
responding to demographic surveys fully
understand the nature of the data sought to be
captured.

195 While the names of High Court and Circuit Judges are displayed on the judiciary’s website,
biographies are only available for Lord and Lady Justices of Appeal and Supreme Court Justices. A
few select High Court judges have biographies but not all of them.
