Job Summary

The Team

The team at Victoria Law Courts is an established and diverse group of just over 50 people, including Registry Clerks, Court/Registry Clerks, Bilingual Court Clerks, Deputy District Registrars, Justices of the Peace, Supervisors, and Managers. The team works collaboratively to support both the Provincial Court and Supreme Court, ensuring proceedings run efficiently and accurately. Court Clerks interact regularly with the Judiciary, members of the legal profession, justice system partners, and the public, playing a key role in maintaining the integrity of the court record and supporting access to justice, including French‑language services across British Columbia.

The Role
As a Bilingual Court Clerk, you provide essential administrative and courtroom support, performing pre‑court, in‑court, and post‑court duties, as well as registry functions when required. Responsibilities include preparing and reviewing legal documents for accuracy and completeness, recording court proceedings, maintaining custody of exhibits, interpreting court file documentation, and concluding files in accordance with legislation and court procedures. The role requires fluency in speaking, reading, and writing both French and English. There are two Bilingual Court Clerk positions that provide French‑language services for trials throughout the province, requiring travel—often on short notice. This is fast‑paced, highly responsible, and meaningful work that directly impacts the public’s experience of the justice system and contributes to fair and accessible court services for all British Columbians.
