legal texts and gowns. They may also use a microphone.

HoursJudges usually work regular and long hours. They may also work evenings and weekends.

Contact with peopleJudges usually work independently and interact with a variety of people including other judges, barristers and solicitors, police officers and court staff. They also have contact with the public and people from a variety of cultures.

"Because judges have to be independent and make up their own mind based on what is in front of them, they generally can't work as part of a team. You get a lot of support from other judges and from court staff but when you are in court you are on your own."
