answer text <p>Responsibility for training of judiciary, including magistrates, rests with the Lord Chief Justice (LCJ) and is exercised through the Judicial College.</p><p> </p><p>Depending on the nature of the case, judicial office holders are authorised to hear, and receive specialist training for, cases involving children.
