Usage examples
  • Law Clerks at the Court of Justice shall be appointed to Grade 5 ; however, a Law Clerk who has exceptional qualifications or special abilities may be appointed to Grade A 4. A Law Clerk may be promoted to the grade immediately above that to which he was appointed after he is 32 years old and has completed six years' service and to the next grade after he is 38 years old and has completed ten years' service.
  • Having to deal with case files some of which run to 5,000 to 7,000 pages and to conduct the lengthy hearings that are sometimes unavoidable, the judges will be unable to deliberate on more than two or three cases per year if they do not receive appropriate assistance. Most national supreme courts provide law clerks to assist the judges by inter alia conducting the necessary research in the case-law and scholarly literature. The same is true in most international courts: the European Court of Justice (where each judge is assisted by three clerks), the European Court of Human Rights (for which the creation of law clerk positions is provided for in Protocol No. 11 to the Convention), the Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (where each judge has a clerk). The same arrangement is needed at the International Court of Justice.
