The Judicial Assistant Scheme for the High Court of England and Wales opens for applications at 9am on Friday 14 February 2025.
Judicial Assistants are assigned to judges of the High Court across the three Divisions. They assist, for example, by carrying out legal research, summarising documents and providing general support for the judge(s) in the organisation of their work and hearings. The application process is for placements lasting either two or four legal terms during the 2025-2026 legal year.
Aimed particularly at recently qualified barristers and solicitors in the early stages of their legal career, applications will be invited from those able to demonstrate effective decision making, excellent communication skills, the ability to deliver at pace, as well as a high level of professional integrity.
Deadline for applications is 6pm on Friday 21 March 2025.
