Membership of Public Law Children Panel – Final Call for Expressions of Interest
The representation of children and parents in court proceedings under the Children (Jersey) Law 2002 can only be undertaken by accredited members of the Public Law Children Panel.
As a consequence of the loss of some panel members, a new training course for potential panel members is being run over two days in September 2026, with refresher training for existing panel members being held on the second day.
Accreditation requires attendance at a designated three day training course (2 days in person, 1 day virtual), the completion of case studies, an examination and an interview.
Any family law practitioners who wish to become accredited members of the Public Law Children Panel and who have not already registered their interest are asked to advise Neville Benbow at ceo@jerseylawsociety.je by 17 July 2026.
While membership of the panel is limited to advocates, the accreditation training, which will be held at the Institute of Law on 8-9 September 2026, will additionally be open to family practitioners who are on a path to qualify as, or convert to be, an advocate within twelve months of the training course.
Application forms for accreditation will be issued in July.
Any further queries in relation to the accreditation training or membership of the panel should be directed to Neville Benbow at ceo@jerseylawsociety.je.
Jersey Police Authority - Expressions of Interest to join Small Pool of Legally Qualified Persons
The Jersey Police Authority ("JPA") is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified legal professionals to join a small pool of Legally Qualified Persons ("LQPs") to support States of Jersey Police ("SoJP") misconduct proceedings.
Background
Under the Police (Complaints and Conduct – States of Jersey Police Force) Regulations 2025, misconduct proceedings are governed by a formal framework designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and independence.
In certain cases, the involvement of an independent legally qualified individual may be required, or considered beneficial, to support the integrity of proceedings and provide expert advice on legal and procedural matters.
The JPA is therefore seeking to establish a small, sustainable pool of LQPs to ensure that appropriate independent legal input is available when required.
Role of the Legally Qualified Person
The LQP will provide independent legal advice in misconduct proceedings, including advice on relevant law, procedure, and fairness, in line with the requirements of the Regulations.
Appointments will be made on a case by case basis.
Eligibility
Applicants should:
• Be a qualified lawyer with a minimum of 5 years’ post qualification experience
• Demonstrate sound legal judgement and professional integrity
• Be independent of the SoJP Police and the JPA
• Be able to identify and appropriately manage any actual or potential conflicts of interest
Time commitment and remuneration
• The expected demand for this role is low, with only occasional cases arising
• Participation will be ad hoc, with no guaranteed volume of work
• The role is expected to be undertaken on a voluntary basis or with minimal cost implications
Appointment, governance and safeguards
• LQPs will be appointed by the JPA for specific cases
• Robust arrangements will be in place to ensure independence, transparency, and proper management of conflicts of interest
• The role is subject to scrutiny and must be capable of withstanding challenge, therefore a clear and cautious approach to independence will be maintained
• Induction or briefing will be provided as required ahead of any involvement in proceedings
How to express interest
Interested individuals are invited in the first instance to submit a short expression of interest to Simon Harman, chairman of the JPA, by email to simon.harman@jerseypoliceauthority.je, outlining:
• Relevant legal experience
• Any tribunal, disciplinary, or quasi-judicial experience
• Confirmation of independence from policing bodies in Jersey.
Closing date for expressions of interest is 18 July 2026.

Women in the Law - Wellbeing Report 2026
The 2026 Women in the Law - Wellbeing report by the Next 100 Years: Women In Law project, supported by LawCare, RPC, and Goodbody Wellness Company, surveyed over 500 women in the legal sector.
This important report finds that women in the legal profession face significant structural barriers, which limit their progression to senior roles despite their strong representation overall. Many experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout, affecting both wellbeing and career decisions, with some considering leaving the profession.
85% of respondents had experienced health and wellbeing issues that had affected their work in the past five years.
70% had experienced ongoing exhaustion or low energy frequently or almost constantly, not fully relieved by rest.
65% of those experiencing exhaustion did not feel comfortable raising it at work.
67% have considered moving jobs or taking a career break due to health and wellbeing issues.
50% do not believe their current working pattern is sustainable for their health in the long term.
43% do not feel they can openly discuss health and wellbeing concerns at work without negative consequences.
A lack of openness around these issues worsens the problem, while poor wellbeing has wider impacts on individuals, organisations, and the profession’s standards and reputation. The report calls for urgent, systemic change, emphasising that improving women’s workplace experiences is a shared responsibility and that embedding wellbeing and inclusive cultures must be a priority.

IBA News
IBA launches its Artificial Intelligence Institute to advance responsible AI governance and inclusive international cooperation
The IBA has announced the launch of the International Bar Association (IBA) Artificial Intelligence Institute (IBA AI Institute) – a new initiative dedicated to influencing and promoting the development of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance through international cooperation and interdisciplinary expertise in alignment with the rule of law and fundamental principles of justice. Dr Farzana Dudhwala will serve as the first Director of the Institute.
Established under the leadership of former IBA President Jaime Carey and the current IBA President Claudio Visco, the Institute will leverage the IBA’s global network of more than 80,000 lawyers and 190 bar associations and law societies spanning all continents to help address the legal, societal, economic and democratic challenges presented by rapidly advancing AI technologies.
The Institute will focus on promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, recognising that the challenges and opportunities presented by AI extend far beyond the legal profession. It will actively engage with diverse stakeholders including technologists, international organisations, governments, policymakers, civil society, research institutions and industry leaders.
Furthermore, the Institute will seek to contribute legal expertise and perspectives to existing international and multi-stakeholder AI forums and initiatives, helping to inform the development of practical, human-instituted, human-centred and globally inclusive AI governance frameworks.
Report explores impact of cross-border remote work
The IBA Global Employment Institute (GEI) has released its 2026 introductory Digital Nomad Report, which highlights the increasing legal, tax and immigration challenges arising from cross-border remote work. Findings include that employees increasingly desire more flexible work conditions, including working remotely, and the growth of digital nomadism is creating complex compliance risks for multinational employees.
Report highlights AI, skills shortages and employee wellbeing as defining workplace challenges
The GEI has also published its 14th Annual Global Report, identifying the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation, persistent skills shortages and employee wellbeing as the key issues shaping employment law and human resources (HR) practice worldwide.
Based on responses from lawyers in 48 countries, the 14th Annual Global Report: National regulatory trends in human resources law examines legal and workplace developments during 2024 and 2025, highlighting how governments, employers and regulators are responding to rapid technological change, evolving workforce models and increasing compliance expectations. The report offers a comparative insight into how workplaces and regulatory frameworks are being shaped across different regions.
