Judge's Associate

In a court of law in Australia, a judge's associate is a trained lawyer who assists the judge with administrative and legal work. This may involve providing draft judgements, proof reading a judge's work and liaising with counsel. Associates may also call out for the litigants when it is time to appear before the court.

Famous quotes containing the words judge and/or associate:

    Bunglers and pedants judge art according to genre; they approve of this and dismiss that genre, but instead of genres, the open-minded connoisseur appreciates only individual works.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
    Well, it’s been that way all through history.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
