Trainee legal advisor role MOJ - Intervuew

Hello everyone, was wondering if anyone had any knowledge and advice to give on the general content and structure of the Legal Assessment/Scenario for the CS MOJ trainee legal advisor role. There's very few answers on this and was hoping someone could provide some knowledge and advice 🙏

There’s not really any specific advice people can give as the assessment changes every year. When I did the test it was on allocation and plea before venue for a specific offence. It also depends whether you’ve opted to go down the crime route or family, as the question will be tailored.

You should receive something about a week before your assessment which will assist in narrowing it down.

Generally speaking, you’ll be asked to advise the interview panel on whatever the assessment topic is. Be sure of your advice but be ready to say “I’m not sure” - a good legal adviser always admits that and says they need to check rather than guessing or giving inaccurate advice. Be clearly spoken and maintain eye contact.
