About the role
This interview tests whether you can support litigation work without losing control of documents, dates or filing requirements. The panel is looking for an accurate and dependable clerk who follows instructions, warns the team early about a deadline at risk and treats case information carefully.

- Practise explaining the checks you would make before taking a document to a court registry.
- Prepare an example of how you tracked several dates or tasks and prevented one from being missed.
- Think through how you would report a rejected filing or conflicting hearing date to the responsible lawyer.
- Refresh the confidentiality boundaries that apply when clients or third parties ask about a case.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a filing was accepted without obtaining or recording confirmation.
- Waiting until a deadline has passed before raising a problem.
