Legal representative
More about the position of legal representative
As legal representative you defend – in writing and orally – the viewpoint of the Minister for Migration and the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Aliens Chamber of the court and on appeal at the Council of State. Such work is varied, meaningful and challenging. Because immigration law is always in development, you never stop learning.
What really distinguishes the position is that you learn very quickly to refute the arguments of the foreign national’s lawyer in written documents and oral pleadings by concentrating on that which is actually in dispute between the parties. Once you are able to do that, then you will be well-prepared to take steps in the direction of the Public Prosecution Service or the administration of justice as a trainee judge (RIO). You litigate more as a legal representative than at many law firms!
So it is very interesting work to do for a longer time, but it is also the ideal springboard for the rest of your career.
