Judicial Assistant 2022 Application

Anyone get told when we would hear back?

Also hopefully your interviews went better than mine!

May I ask which courts people applied to be a JA?

This was for the Court of Appeal

Oh good luck. May I ask another question, you must be afforded a discretion in terms of which area of law?

They just told me they'll get back 'soon'. Not sure how long 'soon' is but considering that interviews were still going on till Thursday this week, might be end of next week or some time in the week after that, I suppose?

I made a number of typos in the written assessment lol. The interview was okay for me - not great but not a disaster either. Good luck for your application!

Thank you!

The application itself is generally for the Court of Appeal Civil Division, so you can get any judge. At the interview, they do ask which areas of law you are most interested in so that they can pair you with a judge who does mostly that area, but every judge is likely to be involved in multiple areas and even judicial assistants might be required to work with more than one judge! So you cannot really choose, but I think they try to pair people according to their interests.

I see. Any legal questions? Do they give you a problem scenario or write an opinion or correct something?
