We are looking for legal assistants, clerks, and support staff of Justice Canada, RCMP, PPSC, and to take part in a study about the realities of the job.
You will be asked to participate in a one-on-one interview about your experiences. The interview will be approximately 60-75 minutes long and will take place on the phone.
The study is about occupational experiences, stresses, and health. You will be asked to provide identifiable demographic and occupational information. As such, confidentiality measures will be followed to protect your identity, and these will be explained in detail prior to the interview. You will also be asked to read and sign an informed consent form prior to the interview. If written consent is not possible, verbal consent may be given at the time of your interview. Interviews will be audio recorded.
Participation in this study is voluntary and is not a requirement of the USJE or your employer. Neither the USJE or your employer will be informed of who does or does not participate.
To participate, or to receive more information about this study, please contact:
