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.
