A typical day

You are posted to a branch of the High Court registry: filing, original side, appellate side, copying or records. A Restorer keeps judicial files moving between courts and the record room, which sounds simple and is not when thousands of files move daily. Work is tied to the daily cause list, and mistakes delay hearings, so supervisors check closely.
