- The Public Law Court is a section of the Cantonal Court and is the ordinary superior appellate authority in disputes based on federal, cantonal or communal public law.
The Public Law Court is thus called upon to rule, as the final cantonal instance, on all appeals relating to administrative activity, in addition to all those in the field of social insurance.
As an assistant legal officer, your role mainly consists of drafting judgment projects. It also involves analysing case files and conducting legal research, alone or in collaboration with the judges.
Furthermore, you will be required to carry out various tasks related to documentation and case management of the concerned instance. More broadly, all legal assistance tasks related to the work of magistrates and the registry may be entrusted to you.
This position is offered as a maternity leave replacement, for a fixed term, potentially from 1 January 2027 to early April 2028.
Holder of a licence and a master’s degree in law, you have solid knowledge of the judicial system as well as the functioning of Neuchâtel public institutions. You show a keen interest in the subjects within the competence of the court concerned. A lawyer’s certificate or professional experience within a court is an asset.
Endowed with good analytical and synthetic skills, you possess excellent drafting qualities and have a sense of exemplary conduct, responsibility, as well as the ability to work independently.
This position also requires holding a clean criminal record and debt collection register.
