Work environment:

The Courts Administration Service (CAS) provides registry, judicial and corporate services to four courts of law: the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and the Tax Court of Canada, known collectively as the "Courts".

If you wish to put your skills and legal knowledge into practice to provide essential judicial support to the Members of the Courts and contribute directly to their success, this position is for you.

When joining the CAS, a Judicial Assistant is assigned to work closely with members of one of the Courts to support them in carrying out their mandate while strengthening the concepts of judicial independence, impartiality and access to justice, which are the very foundation of a sound administration of justice.

Dedication and respect toward the Judiciary are essential.

Although working with Members of the Courts requires a certain presence in the workplace, we are a hybrid workplace combining elements of both office work and remote work, of which the number of days vary depending on the Courts and their operational requirements.
