About William Glover JP

Will Glover is the DCRM (Diversity and Community Relations Magistrate) for the South East for the Family Court.

Diversity and Community Relations Magistrates are appointed by the Lady Chief Justice to act as a conduit between the magistracy, the community and members of the public by contributing to a range of diversity efforts within the judiciary. DCRMs play a crucial role in supporting the delivery of the Judicial Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. Their activities inform and educate people about the role of a magistrate and help to bust the myths that prevail. Through these efforts DCRMs work to increase public confidence in the justice system through a more accurate portrayal of how it all works.

If you would be interested in a presentation from the Magistracy and you are located in the South East (I cover Kent, Surrey and Sussex) then please do message me direct. Otherwise contact can be made through your local region and/or the Lieutenancy in your area.
