The Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan is seeking qualified candidates who wish to be considered for appointment as Associate Judges of the Court.
In April, the Government of Saskatchewan introduced legislation to create a new classification of judges in the Court of King’s Bench. Associate Judges will be responsible for handling certain civil matters, family matters and other specific responsibilities as assigned by the Chief Justice. The role is designed to support the efficient administration of justice amid rising Court workloads and greater case complexity.
An initial roster of five Associate Judges will be appointed who will be resident in Regina and Saskatoon. Appointments are made by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Once appointed, a Court of King’s Bench Associate Judge holds office in accordance with the tenure provisions applicable to judicial positions.
Candidates must:
- be a Canadian citizen and a Saskatchewan resident;
- have a law degree (LL.B. or J.D.) from a recognized institution;
- be a member in good standing of the bar of one of the provinces or territories of Canada for at least 10 years immediately preceding appointment; and
- successfully complete all background and reference checks.
