Law, compliance and justice
Advises clients on their legal rights and obligations, prepares the documents that give effect to a decision, and represents clients in negotiations, tribunals, and court. Practice areas differ widely, so two lawyers can do work that looks almost nothing alike.
Law, compliance and justice
Conducts criminal prosecutions on behalf of the state rather than a private client. The role combines file assessment, disclosure duties, and courtroom advocacy, and carries an obligation to act fairly rather than simply to win.
Law, compliance and justice
A lawyer employed by an organization rather than by a law firm, advising the business on contracts, regulation, employment, and disputes. Much of the work is preventive: shaping a decision before it becomes a legal problem.
Law, compliance and justice
Presides over hearings and trials, rules on procedure and evidence, applies the law to the facts found, and delivers decisions with reasons. The work demands visible impartiality, because the reasoning has to persuade the losing side that it was heard.
Law, compliance and justice
Researches legal issues and drafts memoranda and draft reasons, most often for a judge and sometimes for senior counsel. Note that in parts of Canada the same title is used for a regulated firm-based support role closer to paralegal work.
Law, compliance and justice
Finds, analyses, and summarises legislation, case law, and commentary for lawyers, courts, law reform bodies, or publishers. The output is usually a memorandum that states not just what the law is but how confident the answer can be.
Law, compliance and justice
A private decision-maker appointed by the parties to hear a dispute and issue a binding award. The role looks judicial but sits on the parties' agreement, so procedure is more flexible and the reasoning still has to withstand scrutiny.
