supreme court judgetojudge
A supreme court judge already meets 77% of what the judge role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
77%
25/ 100
1 Share of the judge role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the supreme court judge profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A judge role treats 10 of its required skills as things a supreme court judge already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- civil law
- civil process order
- court procedures
- hear legal arguments
- interpret law
- legal terminology
What stands in the way is 1 required skill the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A judge role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a supreme court judge background worth leading with.
- already held guide jury activities communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held hear legal arguments communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held supervise court hearings assisting and caring
- already held communicate with jury communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain court order assisting and caring
- already held make legal decisions management skills
All 29 carried skills, including the 10 the judge role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 missing skills fall into 3 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held private law required
- optional, not held juvenile detention optional
- optional, not held contract law optional
- optional, not held family law optional

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
