Au sujet de cet emploi

Dans le cadre de vos fonctions, vous pourriez devoir participer au tribunal pour l'appel des causes, l'affirmation ou l'assermentation des témoins, des interprètes et des traducteurs. La personne choisie exécutera également des fonctions quasi judiciaires à titre de juge de paix, en fonction de la loi sur les juges de paix (Justice of the Peace Act).

À votre sujet
