“As a panel member, you will read the case papers in advance of the hearing, actively participate in the appeal hearing and decide whether to uphold or dismiss the appeal.
"We are looking for people from all walks of life with different experiences and skills who reflect our wonderfully diverse city and ensure that our panel is inclusive and representative.
“In particular, we welcome applications from students, graduates, retired professionals or professionals looking to retire soon, so please get in touch.”
