The Supreme Court is searching for judicial assistants to work closely with the Justices. This year it is extending the number of judicial assistants from seven up to 11, due to the growing number of events and educational activities at the court. Judicial assistants must be a solicitor, barrister or advocate qualified in a UK jurisdiction, having completed a training contract or pupillage by the start of the appointment. They join the Justices in court for hearings, carry out research, and draft concise summaries of judgments for the press and public. Applications close on 20 March, and can be submitted here.
