About Us
The Magistrates' Court of Victoria (MCV) is a jurisdiction within the Court Services Victoria statutory authority and has a long history of providing justice for the people of Victoria in metropolitan and regional courts across the state. The Court determines in excess of 300,000 cases per annum at 51 venues, equating to approximately 90 percent of all cases that come before Victorian courts each year. The Court aims to be an innovative, accessible, and responsive court that provides quality services to the Victorian community.
The Legal Policy Unit (LPU) forms part of MCV's Strategy and Corporate Services Division. The LPU provides in-house legal services to the corporate and operational business units of the Court and governs the Court's position on legal policy matters. This position reports to one of two Principal Lawyers within the LPU and is part of a dynamic and innovative legal team that includes specialist legal practitioners supporting the criminal, civil and specialist jurisdictions of the Court.
About the Role
The Practice and Legal Support Manager performs a critical role in supporting the Director of Legal Policy and the Principal Lawyers with their coordination of inhouse legal services to the various business units of the Court. The role includes overseeing the administration and practice management of the LPU; and undertaking technical legal support tasks. Technical legal support tasks may involve paralegal assistance, such as the preparation of legal correspondence, coordination of briefs, liaising with external stakeholders, and record management tasks.
Under supervision of a Principal Lawyer, the Practice and Legal Support Manager will also support the LPU's advisory services to the Principal Registrar; the management of reviews and appeals in higher court jurisdictions; and responses to inquiries initiated by statutory authorities. Success in this role requires a high degree of initiative and effective communication skills for both internal and external stakeholders.
About You
- Experience in legal administration or court services.
- High quality drafting experience for legal correspondence and documents.
- Demonstrated ability to engage with stakeholders effectively.
- Knowledge of practice, procedures and processes relevant to the Magistrates' Court is highly desirable.
