Do you want to use your skills in a place where it really makes a difference?

With us you get a job with clear meaning. We are a modern and attractive workplace with many exciting and diverse tasks of great societal significance. You will have responsibility, professional challenges and the opportunity to develop in an environment characterized by high quality, efficiency, good service – and not least good colleagues.

About the Eastern High Court

The Eastern High Court is one of the country’s two High Courts and handles both civil and criminal cases. We are about 170 employees distributed between judges, administrative staff and service officers, who every day work to ensure the rule of law and a well-functioning constitutional state.

We are based in a modern and bright building in Nordhavn – with a view of the water and only a three-minute walk from the metro.

About the position

When you become part of the Eastern High Court, you enter a large house with many specialties. You start in one section, but in time you may have the opportunity to work with other types of cases and tasks in other sections. This provides both variety in everyday life and good development opportunities.

After a thorough introduction you will be attached to a section, where you will, among other things, work with:

• Administrative preparation, setting and closing of civil cases and criminal cases
• CLOSE collaboration with other legal assistants and judges
• Practical tasks in connection with court hearings and main proceedings

No day is exactly the same, and you will be close to the cases from start to finish.

Your tasks may include

• Preparation and scheduling of civil cases and criminal cases
• Drafting of draft decisions
• Distribution of case material and deadline management
• Dispatching decisions to the parties
• Practical tasks related to the conduct of cases in the courtroom
