"What's a Circuit Judge"?

...is a question I was asked today. You can find out about Circuit Judges here. They generally hear the more complex civil cases in the County Court and sometimes the High Court.

Also, have a look at a day in the life of a Circuit Judge for an insight into what they get up to! If you're feeling brainy you can read a report into the performance of the Manchester Civil Courts here. The foreword to this is written by the Designated Civil Judge for Manchester, HHJ Holman - his title means he's responsible for ensuring that the Woolf Reforms are working properly here!
