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:

  • Military law
  • Administrative law
  • Military and civilian employment law
  • The law of armed conflict, and other international and domestic law applicable to the operations of the Armed Forces
  • Human rights and privacy law
  • Contract law
  • Resource management 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.

Minimum Requirements

  • You must have completed a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). Applicants in their final year of study are encouraged to apply.
  • You must be free of any criminal convictions for the previous two years or any that preclude you from holding a legal practising certificate.
  • You must be of good character - assessed by a study of testimonials and a police record check.
  • You must pass an Officer Selection Board.
  • You must be medically fit for service and meet the minimum entry fitness standards. Colour perception restrictions may apply.
  • There are strict citizenship and security requirements to gain the TSV security clearance required for this trade.

Salary

As a Reserve Legal Officer, the minimum remuneration you will be paid from day one is a daily rate of $231.09 plus an allowance for holiday pay. You are paid for each hour you work, up to a maximum of eight hours’ pay per day. Your remuneration will continue to increase on promotion and with the gaining of seniority.
