Your tasks

This work is non legal aid criminal law work along with civil litigation, being mostly wrongful dismissal litigation.

Both areas of law have constant deadlines.

The criminal law work is procedurally challenging since the rules vary slightly from County to County. Also, if there is a Section 11(b) Charter application, the applicable OCJ court practice direction now mandates a chart showing what was done and when.

The civil law work involves the thoughtful creation of affidavits of documents and law briefs and motion records, along with the chasing of examination for discovery undertakings etc.

Filing of same with the court, requires interaction with the court computer. That takes its own kind of patience!

It is suggested that the candidate do the projects that take considerable thought and attention to detail, before 9 in the morning and leave the balance of the day to the fun/stressful constant email/phone barrages.
