Judicial Support Advisor

Judicial Support Advisor – High Court, Christchurch

12 Month Fixed-Term Part Time

Te Haeata/The Opportunity

The Christchurch Earthquake List was set up in May 2012 to manage litigation arising out of the Canterbury earthquakes. The High Court is committed to justly disposing of these cases as efficiently as possible. The Earthquake List is overseen by three High Court Judges.

Upon filing, earthquake-related cases are referred to the Judicial Support Advisor for classification and whether they should be entered on the Earthquake List.

The Judicial Support Advisor will work under the supervision of the Judges to manage the Earthquake List on a day-to-day basis. This will involve engaging closely with counsel on related litigation, undertaking legal research and providing detailed analysis and advice to the Judge and other key stakeholders.

Please note this is a 12-month fixed term part time role at 20 hours per week.
