Judge's Assistant/Associate

A judge's assistant or associate provides vital support to judges within the UK court system. They are responsible for legal research, preparing case summaries, compiling documentation, and ensuring the smooth running of court proceedings. Their duties may also involve managing case files, assisting with the drafting of judgments, and liaising with barristers, solicitors, and court staff. This role demands strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a good understanding of legal procedures. Many judge's assistants have a law degree or significant experience within the legal sector, and the position is often seen as a stepping stone for those wishing to become solicitors, barristers, or pursue other legal careers.
