The Law Commission’s research assistant recruitment campaign for 2021 has officially opened.
The Law Commission is the statutory independent body created to keep
the law of England and Wales under review and to recommend reform where it is
needed. Each year they recruit up to 18 research assistants to help to ensure the law is simple, fair and modern.
This research assistant opportunity requires you to master complex areas of law and help shape UK
legal reform, whilst working side by side with the Commissioners. Doing this, Research
assistants develop a range of
skills and gain professional experience that is hard to obtain anywhere else.
The role is fixed-term for 51 weeks
from September, with the possibility of renewal for a further year upon
application.
Full details of the role, eligibility criteria, and how to apply can be found in the guide for applicants - 2021 Guide for Applicants and information on the research assistant page on our website. A “top tips” document and sample interview videos are also available on their website to help candidates perform well during the recruitment process.
If you have any questions about
the role or the application process not answered by the guide, please contact recruitment@lawcommission.gov.uk.
