Pool Court Clerk 80 - 100%
The Administrative Court is the highest cantonal court instance in the field of administrative law. It has four departments with different responsibilities.
To manage the backlog, we are looking for a Pool Court Clerk 80–100% starting January 1, 2026, or by agreement.
The position is initially limited until the end of 2026.
Tasks
As a Pool Court Clerk, you draft judgment proposals, participate in decision-making with an advisory vote, and are responsible for editing the judgments, being assigned to departments as needed. This position involves deployment in the 3rd and 1st departments.
The 3rd department primarily reviews appeals in the areas of spatial planning, construction outside building zones, social assistance, criminal and measures enforcement, healthcare, police matters and protection against violence, road construction and road use, traffic, expropriation, animal protection, lawyer supervision, and causal fees.
The 1st department deals with appeals in the areas of construction, planning and environmental law, procurement law, as well as migration and road traffic law.
Profile
In addition to your legal studies completed with very good qualifications at a Swiss university (Master's level), you bring experience in practical casework from court or legal practice and ideally hold a lawyer's license. You are interested in public law issues and preferably have corresponding prior knowledge. You are also familiar with procedural law.
You recognize the essentials, can quickly grasp complex matters, and present them in a well-understandable manner. Your strengths lie in a structured approach and careful working style. You work independently, are resilient, and a team player. The interesting and demanding work requires the ability to work precisely in legal matters and linguistic skill in drafting and editing judgments.
This position, which is explicitly aimed at experienced practitioners, also expects a high degree of efficiency and the willingness to work polyvalently and flexibly on cases from the entire area of responsibility of the two departments.
Offer
The salary is based on the enforcement ordinance to the personnel law (starting from salary class 19).
