Judicial Service invites applications for Magistrates

Judicial Service of Ghana has launched a new recruitment drive for magistrates, inviting qualified lawyers to apply as part of efforts to strengthen frontline justice delivery and deepen court capacity.

The call targets Ghanaian lawyers who are enrolled on the Roll of Lawyers and have at least three years’ standing at the Bar, with applicants expected to demonstrate strong character, integrity, and practical digital competence, including proficiency in word processing tools.

Shortlisted candidates may be taken through a structured selection pipeline that includes a written examination, an ICT proficiency test, and a formal interview, signalling a skills-based approach aimed at operational readiness and modern courtroom workflows. Microsoft

Applicants are required to submit a completed application form alongside a CV, details of three referees, and copies of enrolment and qualifying certificates, plus any other relevant documents, addressed to the Judicial Secretary at P.O. Box 119 in Accra.

The closing window is two weeks from the date of publication. Application forms are available from the Finance Department of the Judicial Service Administration Block in Accra.
