Applications open for High Court registrar post

The Courts Service is seeking applications for the position of Registrar of the High Court at the grade of Assistant Principal Officer. 

The courts body describes the role of the registrar as “key to the efficient running of a courtroom”, adding that it requires “excellent organisational and legal skills”. 

As the definitive record-keeper for the court, registrars must provide support pre-court, in-court, and post-court to the judge and the parties.

The post will mainly be in the Four Courts in Dublin and, as a court-going role, is not suitable for remote working.   

Experience

The role is open to legal practitioners with at least four years’ experience as a practising solicitor or barrister, or at least four years’ relevant professional or technical experience. 

It is also open to individuals with relevant experience gained in roles that involve “significant interaction” with courts or tribunals, as well others with legal or courts experience.  

More details are available on the Courts Service website. 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 20 January.
