I have been through quite a number of JAC selection processes. I don't necessarily agree that they are biased in favour of barristers, but they are certainly biased in favour of litigators. Both in the sifting test and in the role-play you need a lot of knowledge of the intricacies of judging -- not black-letter law but what to do when things go wrong.

Although the JAC like to say that the selection process is fair to all, in my view those who have the potential but little or no experience of court are at a serious disadvantage.
