We are currently looking for a talented and enthusiastic individual to join our team of Legal and Research Advisors working with the Immigration and Protection Tribunal. The Immigration and Protection Tribunal makes decisions under the Immigration Act 2009 on appeals relating to visas, deportation, and refugee or protected person status.
Your day-to-day work will be varied, and will involve collaborating closely with the judicial officers from the Immigration and Protection Tribunal to provide legal and research advice relevant to their work. You will review and summarise decisions, provide legal opinions and conduct research, including in overseas jurisdictions and on the various relevant treaties and conventions. Your wider responsibilities will involve staying up-to-date on developments in the law and relevant fields, and assisting judicial officers in completing special projects. You will have opportunities to research novel legal issues, as well as to learn from the judicial officers about the work that they do and the way they make decisions.
Our team provides legal and research services to the judicial officers of all tribunals administered by the Ministry of Justice. You will primarily be supporting the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, but there will be opportunities to collaborate on work in other jurisdictions.
