**Some of the duties include**:

- Liaise with legal practitioners, court users, and the general public to handle a high volume of complex enquiries under limited supervision.
- Prepare draft orders to be referred to the Judiciary for approval, taking into consideration the needs of the parties and the relevant rules and procedures.
- Contribute to the development of processes and practices to improve service delivery in the Commercial Registry.

In this role you will gain an in depth understanding of Court processes while working in a close-knit team that supports one another. You will engage with a broad array of stakeholders, not limited to judges and their associates, legal practitioners and self-represented litigants. This role provides an excellent insight into the civil litigation process, and has opportunities for progression.
About you
You should have excellent attention to detail, clear written communication skills and an ability to interpret relevant legislation, regulations, policies and processes. To be well-suited to this role you will be able to work independently and as part of a team, be hard-working and be able to develop effective working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
Demonstrated experience working in a legal environment or the Victorian Court System would be highly regarded.
