About:
The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It is composed of 15 judges, elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Court has a twofold role: first, to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States; and, second, to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. The Court is the only principal organ of the United Nations not serviced by the Secretariat. The Court has its own administration, the Registry, which provides judicial support to the Court and acts as a permanent administrative organ. The Registry is headed by a Registrar, elected by the Court. The Court wishes to appoint a number of Law Clerks, each of whom will provide research and other legal assistance to one of the judges of the Court.

Law Clerk to Judges of the Court – Associate Legal Officer
Qualification:
An advanced university degree in law, with significant academic background in public international law or professional experience in the field; a first-level university degree in combination with qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of an advanced university degree.

Under the supervision of the judge to whom he or she is specifically assigned, the Law Clerk will provide such judge with legal research and related assistance with regard to cases pending before the Court.
