The interdisciplinary team works together with a client-centered approach to access the legal and social supports that effect their housing, employment, physical and mental health and wellness, necessary to address the challenges facing them in the child protection and criminal justice systems.

- Maintain a Bring Forward System for the staff lawyer to ensure timely response to correspondence, compliance with limitation periods and attendance at appointments.
- Close legal records (trial, hearing or appeal), ensure dispositions are noted accurately and update precedent records and files, in accordance with BCFNJC policies.
- Conduct records management functions by classifying and storing records, in accordance with BCFNJC policies.
- Arrange telephone and video conferencing for court appearances and maintain staff lawyer calendars.

- Other tasks and duties as required at the discretion of the Staff Lawyer.
- Maintain confidentiality of client-related information.
- Participate in IJCs proactive approach to staff wellness.
- Compile information for annual and other reports and ensure comprehensive statistics are maintained as required.
