UK Supreme Court welcomes judicial assistant applications
Reading time: 1 minute
The UK’s highest court is taking on judicial assistants (JAs) and encourages applications from all of the UK’s legal jurisdictions.
JAs have a varied workload, from deciding if cases should be admitted to the court to discussing them with justices and writing press summaries.
This year will be particularly exciting as three new posts open up with the forthcoming retirements of Lord Neuberger and Lord Clarke as well as Lord Toulson’s retirement last summer. The appointments process will be overseen by two independent selection commissions, convened by the Lord Chancellor under rules set by Parliament.
Last year, SLN assistant editor Kapil Summan spoke to former JAs Michael Deacon and Jim Duffy, barristers at One Crown Office Row, about their time in the court.
