A Legal Researcher (often called a “law clerk/research assistant” style role) supports a Judge by researching case law, statutes, and procedural issues, and assisting in preparation of briefs/notes for court work. This chamber-based engagement is highly research-oriented and is particularly valuable for fresh graduates aiming to build strong foundations in legal reasoning, drafting, and court craft.

Vacancy details

  • Post: Legal Researcher.
  • Number of posts: 01 (One).
  • Place of posting: Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur (attached to the Judge’s chamber).
  • Engagement: Contractual (as stated in the job notice).
  • Age limit: 33 years.

Eligibility criteria

As per the LiveLaw listing, applicants must meet these essential conditions:

  • Must be a fresh law graduate or postgraduate in law from a university/college/institution established by law in India.
  • Must have basic knowledge of computers.

Because High Court legal researcher schemes usually require the candidate not to be engaged elsewhere and not to be practicing as an advocate during the term, you should verify the exact “ineligibility” conditions and required declarations in the official abridged advertisement/High Court scheme document before applying.

How to apply

  • Mode: Online application through the application link mentioned in the notification.
  • Deadline: 30 January 2026.

Keep your scanned photo/signature, degree mark sheets, and a clean CV ready, as most court clerkship-style online forms ask for these basics and may require you to fill in academic details carefully.

Practical tips for selection

Even when the eligibility is minimal, candidates are generally shortlisted based on clarity of writing, research aptitude, and overall academic seriousness. Good additions to your application package (where allowed) include a short writing sample/case note, internships in litigation, and proof of comfort with legal databases (SCC Online/Manupatra/Indian Kanoon), along with strong formatting and error-free English.
