Auckland City, New Zealand Emergent Full time

Great work life balance
- Both online & print media

The Law Association is New Zealand’s only independent, national membership organisation representing the legal profession. We’re looking for a senior journalist to work on _LawNews,_ the flagship weekly publication of The Law Association (formerly known as ADLS and the Auckland District Law Society) and its sister publication, _e-Bulletin_.

Perhaps you’re an experience as a court reporter or you’ve worked the business, politics, science or economics rounds. Or you’re a great all-rounder who’s ready to take your career to the next level. Ideally, you also know something about the law

We’d expect you to be an experienced news-hound who can dig out and nail down your own stories, as well as handling more routine assignments. You’ll have great contacts and your writing skills will be exceptional.

We are ideally looking for:

- newsroom experience (**this is a non-negotiable**)
- excellent news judgment, meaning you have a nose for potential stories and can recognize risk
- strong writing skills, attention to detail and deadline driven
- some form of legal training/experience would be ideal
- excellent inter-personal skills, particularly the ability to build relationships and establish credibility with lawyers
- exceptional interviewing and communication skills
- the ability to work autonomously (while remaining a strong team player)
- video journalism skills (a nice-to-have)

We’re offering a great opportunity to work in a small but very active organisation at a time when the legal profession is undergoing significant change.
