About the Role
Legal Advisors (LEGADs) in the New Zealand Defence Force work in what could be best described as a Specialised General Practice.
As a LEGAD, your career can vary greatly depending on your tasking, but the principal areas in which you may practise are:

The law of armed conflict, and other international and domestic law applicable to the operations of the Armed Forces
Human rights and privacy law

As a Reserve Legal Officer, you may provide legal advice to all levels of command. That advice may encompass a range of topics, including disciplinary matters, military justice procedure, Service Police investigations, Courts of Inquiry, command investigations, the law of armed conflict and rules of engagement, compliance with applicable civil law, civilian employment disputes, complaints, and contracts.
Reserve Legal Officers may also advise on, and assist with, the formulation of policy, and provide legal training and education.
From time to time, and depending upon your experience, you may be required to appear for the Crown in the Court Martial of New Zealand, or other courts and tribunals such as the Summary Appeal Court of New Zealand or a coroner's inquest.
The majority of your career as a LEGAD will be spent in a tri-service environment. This means that Reserve Legal Officers may serve at various defence establishments, and your work colleagues can be Navy, Army, Air Force and civilian.
You may also have the opportunity to serve overseas, on exercise or on deployment.

During your first 11 months in the Navy, you will be taught core military, mariner and leadership skills in order to be an effective officer in the Navy.

Job Training: Specialist training as a Legal Officer is provided as appropriate on an ongoing basis, most of which is conducted in-house.
Reservists who have not previously served in the Regular Force (ab initio Reservists) commit to a minimum cumulative total of 20 days' service each year for professional development and operational delivery.

You must be medically fit for service.
You must meet the minimum entry fitness standards.
Colour perception restrictions may apply.
