El 2 - Sessional Judicial Registrar

3 days ago

Greater Adelaide SA, Australia Federal Court of Australia Full time

**Position Overview**

The Court wants to increase the number of people it can offer work on a casual basis, as Judicial Registrars working in the family law jurisdiction. Those who fall into this category are called “Sessional Judicial Registrars”.
Sessional Judicial Registrars have flexibility (as they are not required to accept offers of work), however they do have an opportunity to develop legal DR skill sets, as well as access professional development and experience.
Sessional Judicial Registrars predominantly undertake important DR work across both Courts locally and nationally, mostly using online venues such as TEAMS, but some local work may be undertaken in-person as may be needed.
Sessional Judicial Registrars are employed under section 22(2)(c) of the Public Service Act 1999 and this means Sessional Judicial Registrars are engaged under a separate contract of employment on each occasion that they work. Each employment contract will be on the terms and conditions set out in a letter that will be sent to successful in your applicants. Importantly, the Court is not obliged to offer a Sessional Judicial Registrar work, and they are not obliged to accept work offered by the Court.
Persons appointed to the position of Sessional Judicial Registrar will need a strong drive and commitment to achieving results and to the Court’s reform agenda. The successful applicants will need to possess strong communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills, be adaptable and a team player.
Persons appointed to the position of Sessional Judicial Registrar are expected to carry out their duties so as to:

- Satisfy all relevant statutory obligations
- Satisfy the Australian Public Service Values and Code of Conduct
- Contribute to and support achievement of the Court’s Strategic and Business Plans
- Operate within the Court’s policies and procedural guidelines, and
- Support and contribute to the Courts’ Service Charter.

**Selection Criteria**
- The ability to exercise judicial discretion in an appropriate manner: capacity to preside in court and exercise delegated powers and functions pursuant to section 37A of the Family Law Act 1975 and section 102 of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Act 1999.
- Demonstrated experience in family law and/or civil litigation and practice in superior courts of Australia.
- Demonstrated experience in, or the ability to conduct, mediations and case management.
- Demonstrated experience and understanding, or ability to acquire such knowledge quickly, of the Family Law Act 1975, Rules and Regulations; and the jurisdiction and practices and procedures of the FCFCOA.
- Highly developed communication skills, including the ability to represent the Court at a senior level, when interacting with the public and legal profession, and the ability to influence behaviour and attitudes at all levels.
