**Royal Courts of Justice Group, Legal Operations**
**Job Title: Lawyer, Administrative Court Office**
**Salary: London (within M25): £58,847 - £66,670**
**Number of hours per week: 37**
**Background**
His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is responsible for the administration of the criminal, civil and family courts and tribunals in England and Wales and non-devolved tribunals in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It provides a fair, efficient and effective justice system delivered by an independent judiciary. HMCTS aims to ensure that all citizens receive timely access to justice according to their different needs, whether as victims or witnesses of crime, defendants accused of crime, consumers in debt, children at risk of harm, businesses involved in commercial disputes or as individuals asserting their employment rights or challenging the decisions of government bodies.
Consequently, there are high expectations of all staff regardless of the job they do, and high performance is expected from everybody. The organisation is continuously adopting new or better ways of working to ensure that it focuses on just that which is essential. HMCTS senior management expects all leaders to operate in a culture of openness and honesty, demonstrating a commitment to change through involvement and empowerment, and by delivering results.
**Introduction**
The RCJ legal operations group includes all the lawyers working in the offices which support the Court of Appeal (criminal and civil divisions) and the High Court. It also includes lawyers working in the Upper Tribunal (including EAT).
The work of Administrative Court Office (‘ACO’) supports the Administrative Court, part of the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, which exercises a supervisory administrative and public law jurisdiction for England and Wales, as well as a supervisory jurisdiction over lower courts and tribunals. This jurisdiction is exercised through the procedure of judicial review and statutory challenges.
The lawyers are authorised to exercise judicial functions under CPR 54.1A (judicial review) and CrimPR 2.6 (extradition). The role includes providing legal support to the High Court Appeals Office in relation to appeals lodged in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, with a particular focus on providing guidance to court users and administrative staff on jurisdictional and procedural matters.
Administrative Court Office lawyers are responsible for pro-active case management of proceedings; they provide expert advice and assistance to the parties and the judiciary by overseeing the management of cases, advising on how and when they should be heard and by undertaking analysis and legal research.
**Key responsibilities and duties**:
- **Case management**

- Maintain an accurate overview of all legal issues relevant to the jurisdiction, including identifying cases raising linked issues and test cases.
- Prioritise case load effectively in accordance changing business demands, adapting focus as necessary to ensure that urgent and/or high-profile matters are progressed appropriately.
- Identify important and high-profile cases for inclusion in the flagged cases schedule.
- Maintain and develop specialist skills by keeping up to date with developments in public law generally, relevant procedural rules and case law with a strong focus on continuous learning.
- Identify developing trends in the caseload area.
