Company Name:

Cúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh - Ard-Stiúrthóireacht an Ilteangachais Court of Justice of the European Union, Directorate-General for Multilingualism


The Court, which has its seat in Luxembourg, is the judicial authority of the European Union and, in cooperation with the courts and tribunals of the Member States, it ensures the uniform application and interpretation of EU law. As each Member State has its own language and specific legal system, the Court of Justice of the European Union is a multilingual institution with a legal translation service and an interpretation service.


The Court is seeking to recruit Dlítheangeolaithe le Gaeilge (Irish language lawyer-linguists), English language lawyer-linguists and English language Interpreters.

EU lawyer-linguists ensure that all EU legal texts have the same meaning in every European language. They are lawyers with outstanding linguistic abilities, who are experienced in drafting, checking and revising legal texts. Lawyer-linguists must be able to discern precisely what EU legal texts intend to convey, and faithfully reflect that intention in their own language.

An interpreter works in real time making communication possible between the speaker and the person hearing the oral submissions, faithfully conveying a message expressed orally in a language other than that of the speaker.

Every year, the Court offers a number of paid traineeships of a duration of five months. Traineeships are undertaken in different services throughout the Court including at the Directorate-General for Multilingualism.

Job opportunities in other Services of the Court (e.g, as Referendaires or as Legal administrators in a registry or in the fields of library services, research and documentation) are listed on the Court's website.


The vast majority of staff in the Court's services are recruited from the reserve lists of open competitions organised by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO).

Temporary staff are also recruited by the Court. These posts are listed on the Court's website, applicants can apply for these positions through the website.

Closing Date for Applications:

No closing date has been set for the lawyer-linguist roles. There are two traineeship periods: from 1 March to 31 July (applications to be made between 1 July and 15 September of each year) and from 1 October to 28 February (applications to be made between 1 February and 15 April of each year).


We would like to talk to law students from every level. Many lawyer-linguists working at the Court have undergraduate degrees in different disciplines as well as the required legal qualification. Applicants for the lawyer-linguist positions must satisfy the following minimum requirements: Have successfully completed a suitable course in law (i.e. hold a degree in law or its equivalent awarded in the United Kingdom or Ireland) or have qualified as a barrister, advocate or solicitor in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Have a perfect command of English or Irish. Have a thorough knowledge of French. Have a satisfactory knowledge of a third official language of the European Union. Have an interest in legal translation. Knowledge of other official languages of the European Union and relevant professional experience would be an advantage.

Mrs. Justice Susan Denham, former Chief Justice, assists two aspiring barristers annually who come from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds to gain access to professional legal education at the King’s Inns and professional practice at the Law Library.

Company Name: The Honorable Society of King’s Inns


Founded in 1541, the Honorable Society of King’s Inns is Ireland’s longest-established legal institution and School of Law. Many famous legal and political figures over the past five centuries received their legal education at the King's Inns. Whether you want a qualification equivalent to a law degree (Diploma in Legal Studies), want to qualify as a barrister (Barrister-at-Law Degree), or want to learn about the law in a particular area (e.g. data protection, education, planning, or public procurement), the King's Inns has the right course for you.


The King's Inns' Diploma in Legal Studies provides a route to qualification as a barrister to those who don’t have a law degree. Diploma graduates are in the same position as law-degree graduates for the purposes of the Barrister–at–Law Degree. Because the diploma and degree courses run on a part-time basis (the degree course runs on a full-time basis as well), they are suitable for those in employment or with other commitments which would make doing a full-time course impractical.

Method of Application: By completing an application form online.

Closing Date for Applications: August 31, 2019 (Diploma in Legal Studies); July 1, 2019 (Degree)

Target Groups (JS, SS, PG): Non-law-degree graduates (Diploma in legal Studies); law-degree graduates (Barrister-at-Law Degree)
