The posts are filled under the “Scheme for Law Clerks-cum-Legal Research Assistant of the High Court of Tripura” (as amended till date). Each Law Clerk is attached to one Hon’ble Judge and works under that Judge’s direct control.

If you are looking for long-term security, plan your next step while you serve. If you want deep exposure to judicial work, this is the right place to begin.
