In addition to this task, the reform pursued others. Thus, the selection of qualified personnel is higher specified position allows for a strict selection of candidates, and also gives judges the opportunity to deal directly with their work, and not with paperwork.

It is noteworthy that this institution receives a lot of attention from legislative and judicial bodies, as well as the administrative apparatus of the President of the Russian Federation. Large sums are allocated annually to stimulate and develop the widespread introduction of this category of employees into the judiciary.

So, who is an assistant referee? This is a federal employee who is part of the court apparatus and is vested with powers, as well as having responsibilities provided for by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On the Fundamentals of the Civil Service of the Russian Federation.”

What are the responsibilities of an assistant referee?

Before submitting your resume, you need to know what you will have to face in a new place and what the employer will require of you.

The responsibilities of an assistant judge are very extensive and significant. It should do the following job:

Carefully study all statements of claim and complaints received by the judge, as well as make proposals on them, prepare draft court decisions.
Take an active part in the process of preparing the case for consideration.

Powers of an assistant judge

What rights does this civil servant have? He can improve his professional level in educational institutions of the training and retraining system for court personnel; use any regulatory, statistical and other materials available in the archive; receive all the necessary information from structural divisions and from specialists; make proposals for improving their activities.

Differences in the work of an assistant judge in arbitration, magistrate and district courts

If you want to get a job in this position, then you are probably wondering how the responsibilities differ in different categories of courts. The answer to this question is very simple. Thus, the assistant magistrate will deal with cases that are within the competence of this body. These are civil disputes related to alimony obligations, inheritance law, divorce proceedings, challenging the validity of concluded contracts, etc. This also includes criminal cases of minor severity (beatings, causing minor harm to health, threat of murder).

Arbitration deals primarily with economic disputes between legal entities, as well as individual entrepreneurs. Consequently, the assistant judge of the arbitration court will have to be directly involved in cases related to commercial activities. This is a very interesting, but at the same time very complex and extensive area of legal proceedings.

Benefits provided to an assistant judge

An assistant judge belongs to the category of civil servants, and therefore, he is subject to all the rules regarding benefits for this group of citizens. If the length of service exceeds 10 years, the amount of the next vacation is 42 days. It is possible to use free medical care, as well as receive discounts on spa treatment.

How to get a job as an assistant judge

To get a job as a judicial assistant, it is best to first work as a secretary or clerk in the place where you want to pursue a career. Then after two years you can take the desired position. Remember that for this you need to have a diploma of higher legal education. A bachelor's degree is sufficient. If you cannot spend precious time getting a full-time education, you can work and get a part-time job at the same time. Then, by the time you have accumulated the necessary experience, you will also have an education.

Advantages and disadvantages of the profession

The disadvantages of the profession include long working hours and a constantly changing schedule. Of course, in accordance with labor laws, no one can force you to work overtime, but in practice everything turns out differently. Be prepared for the fact that there will be so much to do that you will have to go out holidays or stay late at work. Another significant drawback of the position of “assistant judge” is the salary. 2014 did not bring significant changes in the regulation of this problem. Now the average income of employees in this category in Russia is 16,000 rubles. In the northern regions, this amount is much higher and reaches 35 thousand rubles.

In addition, you will have to deal with the disrespectful attitude of the participants in the process. People come to court to sort things out, so they are often on edge, and employees become for them an outlet into which they can throw out accumulated negative emotions.

The advantages include stable income and a fairly long vacation. Since the work is official, all necessary contributions go to the Pension Fund.

Career Opportunities

Of course, you can hear a story about how someone you know rose to become the chairman of the court, starting from a simple assistant. But in reality this happens very rarely. Typically, an assistant judge continues to work in this position until retirement. The situation has hardly changed since past centuries. Thus, in Ancient China, assistant judges (of course, they were called differently) knew for sure that they would never occupy a higher position. This was regulated by both service and hierarchical norms.

Assistant judge: reviews of the profession

People working in court know firsthand how much moral and physical strength this profession takes. Endless paperwork, constant attacks from plaintiffs and defendants, regular reports - all this requires maximum endurance and concentration. But there are also many advantages. Having worked in legal proceedings, you can gain extensive experience in communication, handling documentation and knowledge of legal acts.

Salary of an assistant judge

When considering such an issue as increasing the salaries of assistant judges, it should be remembered that 2014 was absolutely unprofitable for them. Most likely, if the income of these employees increases, it will be within the framework of inflation, which will range from 5 to 7%. As a representative of the State Duma explained, one should not expect a significant increase in wages this year.

However, not everything is so sad. In the next three years, the Government of the Russian Federation plans to carry out a financial reform related to increasing the level of pay for all court employees. First of all, this can be achieved by increasing premiums. Today, the salary of an assistant judge consists of several parts, which increase in proportion to the length of service. Thus, the employee has a significant incentive for career growth: the longer he is in the service, the higher his income.

An assistant judge is a very complex position that includes a lot of needs. In principle, every judge in mandatory has an assistant as well as a secretary. And it is the assistant who plays the main role in preparing all materials on a particular case. That is, in fact, a significant burden of obligations falls on the assistant’s shoulders. As for wages, they are set at 30-50 thousand rubles. So, in principle, the work is not so relevant, but still, it allows you to gain certain prospects and opportunities.

If you decide to get a job as an assistant judge, you definitely need to pay attention to the offered vacant positions. Such positions are immediately reflected on the official websites of the court. After which, you need to visit the court's personnel department and find out what documents should be provided. Next, you provide a package of documents and undergo an interview with a judge. After which, you can create an order for appointment to the vacant position.

How can I get a job as an assistant judge?

An assistant judge must have a legal education. Preference is given to higher legal education, which was obtained in state and certified educational institutions;
An assistant judge cannot have a criminal record. Must be passed without fail medical commission. In this case, a visit to a psychologist and narcologist is also prescribed. That is, in fact, it is very important that a person is healthy, does not have any chronic diseases that could negatively affect his professional activities, and also does not have any chronic addictions;
If a candidate is declared incompetent by a court, he cannot receive workplace;
Very important point obtaining a position - passing an interview. It is on the basis of this interview that data are generated that relate to the specialist’s knowledge;
Candidates provide all documents to the court reception or human resources department. The authenticity of these documents must be verified.

In principle, there will be no particular difficulties in obtaining the position of assistant judge. However, if you are going to have the prospect of intense growth, you need to stick to your commitments.

Position "assistant judge"

Many people understand perfectly well that this position is not so prestigious, and it does not provide any benefits in the form of a serious salary. However, every person understands that in order to obtain a position as a judge, one must have legal experience. Moreover, the length of service must be in government activities. That is, in fact, an assistant judge is the most optimal position that allows you to prepare for the work of a judge. Firstly, in this position you will get the experience you need. Secondly, you will plunge into the world of the official responsibilities of judges and will be able to hone your knowledge while preparing for the qualification exam.

And how to find yours. I am sure that in order to find what you like and want to do, you need to know what is out there and what you can choose from or what you can invent. To do this, you need to communicate with a large number of people and know the nuances of different professions. How to do this if your social circle is not so wide? Visit my blog and read a series of interviews with representatives of different professions!

All professions are needed, all professions are important - I didn’t come up with this, but it’s true. Purpose does not have to be saving the world every day or traveling. Each has its own purpose. And maybe an activity that seems boring and ordinary to you is a dream job for someone else. He just doesn’t yet know that such work exists.

So I want to help you find out what you can do and get paid for it, who to work for, what to do and what different professions are. Maybe one of them will become your dream job and even turn out to be your destiny.

Today's heroine is Natalya, an assistant judge. Ryazan.

Tell me, did you consciously decide to work in law or did it happen by accident?

While still at school, I realized that I had a humanitarian mindset, so I didn’t become an accountant. Medicine didn’t appeal either. I don’t remember what other options I considered then. It was a period without the Internet and cell phones, so I simply did not know about many professions that exist now, and many of them did not exist in our country. At that time, jurisprudence was a popular field, so I went to law school.

During my 5th year, I got a part-time job as a typist in court, at that time computers had just begun to appear, so all court acts were printed on typewriter. After graduating from university, I simply “stayed” in court.

How long have you been working as an assistant judge?

It seems like an eternity to me - 12 years.

How to become an assistant judge? What are the requirements for an applicant for this position? Do you need any special personal qualities or is a diploma enough?

Now, to become an assistant, you need to have a higher legal education, a bachelor's degree is enough (if I understand the current education system correctly). You need to get a job in a district court as a secretary or clerk for a magistrate and “grow up” to assistant. You can become an assistant if you have connections or 2 years of legal experience.

You can become an assistant judge if you have experience in the legal profession.

What does the assistant referee's workplace look like? Is this an ordinary office office or a courtroom itself?

This is an ordinary office: a table with a computer on it + a chair + a wardrobe + a bedside table. In an office in a court of general jurisdiction, there is usually an assistant and a secretary in the same office. In the Arbitration Court, about 10 people (secretaries and specialists) can sit in one office. There are also 5-6 people and assistants sitting there. There are no separate offices.

If we talk about the courtroom, then the trial itself takes place there. That is, during the court hearing the judge and the secretary come there. So in its pure form it cannot be called their workplace.

What are the responsibilities of an assistant referee?

In each court and each judge, the work is structured differently, so the responsibilities may be slightly different. All in all:

receiving applications/claims from citizens,
preparation of judicial acts: rulings on the return of the claim, leaving without motion and decisions.

If a judge deals with criminal cases, then, accordingly, these are sentences and decisions. Once a year they allow us to make a generalization. This is when you need to read all the cases on a certain topic and draw conclusions in writing about the work of judges.

This could also be answering phone calls, filing cases, sending requests. Basically, these are the duties of a secretary, but with us this is done by the one who has the business on which the work is being done. Also, if a judge does not have an assistant (he got sick, quit), then you work with two judges.

In general, the goal of my work is to help the judge as much as possible (by finding the necessary legislative acts and printing judicial acts) and to settle conflict situations so that visitors feel good impression from attending court. I want people to leave me happy.

Does this position have growth prospects? Can an assistant at some point “grow up” to become a judge or is there some other hierarchy there?

Yes, purely theoretically it is possible to “grow up”, but such cases are rare. I won’t lie, basically everything is decided by connections.

Tell us how your working day is structured? What time do you start work and what time do you finish? How many days off a week do you have and what is your vacation?

Officially, the working day starts at 9 and lasts until 18 hours, five days a week. But in reality you have to either leave earlier, or stay late, or work on weekends. Or all at once. Vacation goes up to 42 days (if you have served for more than 10 years), but I can only take it at the same time as the judge. You can’t take all your vacation at once, we always “break it up.”

An assistant judge's vacation can be 42 days.

Does the job of an assistant judge provide any benefits, such as a 13th salary, additional days off, free travel, a good social package, or something else like that?

There are no benefits. In terms of salary, we have quarterly bonuses in the amount of salary. Our salaries are very small, 4,700 rubles. That is, 4 times a year I receive a salary that is 4,700 rubles more than in other months.

What are the pros and cons of being a judicial assistant?

Among the disadvantages, I can name unofficially unstandardized working hours, low wages, and disrespectful attitude from clients. I will explain the last point in more detail. That is, a person who comes can come prepared for conflict and speak in a disrespectful manner, basically he can say anything, and I must answer calmly and politely, only because he is a client and I have no right to speak differently. This of course applies to any service profession.

On the plus side. Fixed salary. Having a long vacation. I also consider it a plus that I work officially and there are contributions to the Pension Fund.

Officially, in employment contract We have a normal working day, but at the same time there are situations when it is simply impossible to leave work at 18:00. Much depends directly on the judge.

I liked this job for many years and, in general, I still like it. But at the same time, I am looking for myself and really want to change my life.

How much does an assistant referee earn?

In my hands (clean) I get 16 thousand rubles. per month.

I hope this post helped you understand at least a little better what you would like to do in life, and what you would not like to do.

However, today, due to latest changes In the legislation of our country, the situation has changed radically. At the moment, many applicants with a higher legal education apply for the mentioned.

This is not surprising: the profession of a civil servant, who is directly subordinate to a judge and is involved in conducting cases and preparing relevant documentation, is considered very prestigious. In addition, this type of work pays well. Of course, in order to officially become an assistant judge, any applicant has to go through a very strict selection process.

And this is logical, because this profession implies a huge level of responsibility and requires the employee to have very specific knowledge and skills... Our article will help you figure out what conditions must be met in order to get the coveted position. We will tell you what skills you need to have to become an assistant judge, as well as how you should behave during an interview for this vacancy.

In other words, such an employee should not disdain work in the spirit of sending faxes or answering calls. In addition, a specialist applying for the position described must be prepared for a huge information load. Indeed, often an assistant is required to prepare legal materials for several judges at the same time.

What types of cases require the participation of such an assistant? It all depends on which court the employee works in. Thus, in arbitration, assistants are involved in the consideration of processes related to commercial issues. Usually these are disputes between certain legal organizations and private individuals.

inheritance;
annulments of marriages and;
termination of contracts;
imposing punishment for violation of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of mild severity.

Of course, an assistant judge must not only perform his job duties well, but also comply with certain regulations.

Therefore, if you intend to, you will be required to notify your employer in advance. Namely, on the same day as you receive the first documentary evidence that your application has been approved.

What powers does an assistant judge have?

Courtroom

It is logical that with such an extensive list of responsibilities, judicial assistants have some official privileges and powers that serve, in a way, as compensation for the enormous workload in the workplace. What “bonuses” can you get by taking the position described? First of all, assistant judges have the right:

for training in government institutions for the purpose of retraining or advanced training;
to study any materials contained in state archives that in one way or another relate to judicial records management;
necessary for the full conduct of the trial information support from law enforcement agencies and other government services;
to propose initiatives related to optimization of one’s own work process.

It is clear that all the opportunities described above allow assistant judges to more effectively cope with their direct responsibilities. What about social support? Do such assistants have any government benefits designed to make their private lives easier?

Of course, there are such “bonuses” for assistant judges. Just like any other employees government agencies, such workers have the opportunity to receive free medical care and “preferential” vouchers.

Let's sum it up
