Highly respected by the legal profession, the College helps judicial officers maximise every precious hour they can devote to education by carefully curating their learning experiences.

• Attend to online publishing as required (training/support will be provided on the relevant publishing software)

• Coordinate and review the output of university interns undertaking placements within the Team as required.

About You

You have a tertiary qualification in law, and have knowledge and understanding of the Victorian justice system, in particular of court processes and the requirements of sentencing; with prior experience in legal research, legal practice or legal policy.

You have well developed legal and non-legal research and analytical skills, complemented by excellent editing and plain language legal writing skills.
