Administrative junior judges

The duties of administrative junior judges include assisting the management group, participating in internal development projects, helping with recruitment initiatives, being involved in receiving national and international visits, and drafting so-called “administrative replies”.

Administrative junior judges at the Supreme Court have the administrative director as their immediate manager. However, they also undertake assignments from all the court’s justices.

Work as an administrative junior judge provides valuable knowledge and experience of the administrative management and development of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has one or two administrative junior judges.

How to apply

The Supreme Court appoints administrative junior judges for one-year periods and processes all applications as they are received. Applicants should have served at least one year as a legal clerk in a court of appeal, and, preferably, a certain period as a junior judge in a district court. Applicants should submit a CV and written assessments from their judge training.

Miscellaneous

The appointment is such that applicants can request time as a legal clerk with administrative duties to be credited, to a certain extent, as time as a junior judge in a district court. See Section 40, Paragraph 3 of the ordinance setting out instructions for courts of appeal (1996:379). For further details on the crediting of time, please contact your court of appeal.
