Get involved (1/2): Agreement

The Pacific Judicial Development Program has a series of openings each year for specialists to assist with various technical assignments. We welcome people with relevant expertise joining our technical pool from which the Program draws experts into the specialist roles.

Instructions

Registering on the PJDP Technical Pool is the first step in being considered for future consultancy opportunities with PJDP. Searches for experts are based on the information you enter in the data fields of the Expression of Interest page. To enhance the search function of our database so that we can better match you with the most suitable opportunities please ensure the following:

1. Please use your most permanent email address as your username. This prevents duplication from multiple registration records and ensures we can contact you over a longer term.
2. Complete all fields in the Expression of Interest process.
3. Update your details on a regular basis. Ensure all details are correct, particularly your contact details, and that your most recent experience included. We may delete your records after two failed attempts to contact you.

Once registered, you will be contacted as future opportunities arise that suitably match your qualifications, experience and expertise.
