Prestation de conseils et de services juridiques généraux au commandant d’une base des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC)
Prestation de conseils sur des questions juridiques d’ordre opérationnelle au quartier général de la Défense nationale

Environnement de travail
Les avocats(tes) militaires sont des officiers(ères) de la branche des services juridiques des FAC, qui est commandée par le Juge-avocat général (JAG). Celui-ci agit comme conseiller juridique du gouverneur général, du ministre de la Défense nationale, du MDN et des FAC pour les questions de droit militaire et surveille l’administration de la justice militaire dans les FAC.
Le Bureau du JAG offre à l’appareil de justice militaire le personnel qualifié dont il a besoin, notamment des juges militaires, des avocats(tes) de la poursuite et des procureurs de la défense. Les avocats(tes) militaires peuvent aussi être affectés au Cabinet de la Conseillère juridique auprès du MDN et des FAC, où ils travaillent dans des domaines comme la rédaction de lois, les pensions, les réclamations et le droit administratif. Plus tard au cours de leur carrière, les avocats(tes) militaires pourraient être nommés à la magistrature militaire et servir au sein du Cabinet du Juge militaire en chef, qui est indépendant.
Programmes d’enrôlement
Options d’enrôlement direct
Tous les avocats(tes) militaires doivent être admis au barreau d’une province ou d’un territoire canadien, et être membre en règle d’une association professionnelle des avocats(tes) d’une province ou d’un territoire.
Si vous avez obtenu votre diplôme au cours des deux dernières années, vous devez posséder de l’expérience pratique au cours de ces deux dernières années. Cette expérience peut comprendre du travail dans une clinique d’aide juridique ou une période de stage sous la supervision d’un avocat(e) agréé en droit pénal canadien, en droit international, en droit administratif, en droit du travail et de l’emploi ou en droit de la personne.
Si vous avez obtenu votre diplôme de la faculté de droit depuis plus de deux ans, vous devez avoir pratiqué le droit à temps plein au Canada depuis l’obtention de votre grade. Si vous n’avez pas travaillé comme avocat(e) depuis la faculté de droit et que vous avez obtenu votre diplôme depuis plus de deux ans, votre expérience juridique pourrait être évaluée par le cabinet du JAG afin de déterminer votre admissibilité. Cette démarche sera faite après que vous aurez fait votre demande d’enrôlement dans les FAC.
L’instruction de base et la qualification militaire de base des officiers doivent être réussies avant que le candidat soit affecté.
Instruction
Après votre enrôlement, vous commencerez la qualification militaire de base des officiers de 12 semaines à l’École de leadership et de recrues des Forces canadiennes de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, au Québec. Les sujets abordés comprennent les connaissances militaires générales, les principes du leadership, les règlements et coutumes des FAC, le maniement des armes de base et les premiers soins. Vous aurez la possibilité de mettre en application les compétences militaires nouvellement acquises dans le cadre d’exercices d’entraînement portant sur la protection de la force, l’instruction appliquée, la navigation et le leadership. Vous participerez également à un programme rigoureux de sports et de conditionnement physique. Le cours de QMBO est offert en anglais ou en français et sa réussite constitue un préalable à la poursuite de l’instruction.
À la suite de la formation de base des officiers, une formation en seconde langue officielle peut vous être offerte. La formation peut durer de deux à neuf mois selon vos compétences en langue seconde.
Pendant votre première affectation, vous devrez terminer toute l’instruction professionnelle de base qui vous permettra de travailler dans les différents domaines liés au groupe du JAG.
Vous pourriez avoir la possibilité d’acquérir des compétences spécialisées par l’intermédiaire de cours magistraux ou d’une formation en cours d’emploi.

En règle générale, les membres de la Force de réserve servent à temps partiel au sein d’une unité militaire dans leur communauté et peuvent effectuer leur service pendant qu’ils sont aux études ou qu’ils occupent un emploi civil. Ils sont payés durant leur instruction. Ils ne sont pas assujettis aux affectations ni aux déménagements militaires. Toutefois, ils peuvent se porter volontaires pour déménager à une autre base ou pour être déployés au Canada ou à l’étranger dans le cadre de missions militaires.
Les avocats(tes) peuvent servir auprès de la Marine royale canadienne, de l’Armée canadienne ou de l’Aviation royale canadienne, au sein des services juridiques des FAC. Leur responsabilité consiste à fournir des services juridiques dans les domaines du droit opérationnel, du droit international, du droit concernant le personnel militaire, du droit administratif militaire et de la justice militaire.

Les membres de la Force de réserve reçoivent le même niveau d’instruction que leurs homologues de la Force régulière. Ils commencent généralement leur instruction avec le bureau du JAG, pour s’assurer qu’ils répondent aux normes militaires professionnelles de base.

Les candidats qui détiennent un diplôme universitaire en droit (LL.L, LL.B. ou J.D.) pourront passer directement au programme de formation en cours d’emploi à la suite de l’instruction de base.
En règle générale, les membres de la Force de réserve effectuent leur service à temps partiel au sein de leur unité d’attache, le soir et la fin de semaine, suivant un horaire établi. Toutefois, ils peuvent également effectuer leur service en occupant des postes à temps plein au sein de certaines unités pour des périodes déterminées, selon la nature des tâches à exécuter.

Duties
Prosecutors play a key role in the Canadian criminal justice system. As Counsel at the PPSC, you will conduct criminal prosecutions on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions on many significant and complex cases related to drugs, organized crime, terrorism, money laundering, human trafficking, war crimes, and so on. You will quickly gain a breadth of knowledge and experience as you work on a variety of prosecutions. Unlike in private practice, where little time is spent in court, prosecutors can go to court every day. You can acquire immediate trial experience that many private litigators must wait years to get. Joining the Public Prosecution Service of Canada will be a transformative experience, both professionally and personally.
Work environment
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) is a federal government organization responsible for the prosecution of criminal offenses under federal jurisdiction. Our organization consists of approximately 1000 employees in regional offices across the country who all play a key role in strengthening Canada’s criminal justice system. The PPSC handles the prosecution of all Criminal Code offences in the territories as well as offences under all other federal legislation, such as the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and the Fisheries Act. The National Capital Regional Office (NCRO) is located at Place Bell situated at 160 Elgin Street, an office complex in downtown Ottawa and next to the Rideau Canal and the Rideau Shopping Centre. This location offers easy access to restaurants, fitness facilities, walking/running paths and parks. We are conveniently located close to major bus routes making it easy to commute from all points across the city. The National Capital Regional Office (NCRO) is responsible for federal prosecutions in the East, Northwestern, and Northeastern regions of Ontario, as well as in judicial districts in western Quebec. The regional headquarters is located in Ottawa. The NCRO’s areas of prosecution focus are controlled drugs and substances; terrorism and national security; competition law; and other regulatory statutes. The Ontario Regional Office (ORO) is responsible for federal prosecutions in southern and southwestern Ontario, from Windsor in the west to Trenton in the east, and northward to Georgian Bay and the districts encompassing Barrie, Lindsay, and Peterborough. The regional headquarters is located in Toronto, with local offices in Brampton, Kitchener, and London. The majority of the files handled in the ORO involved drug-related offences. Counsel also prosecute criminal organization, terrorism, and tax evasion offences, as well as offences under the Canada Elections Act and the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act.
Intent of the process
This process is anticipatory. A list of qualified and/or partially qualified candidates will be established from this process to staff positions in our Ontario offices, with varying tenures, and varying language requirements according to the position to be staffed. As such, we encourage all employees in the area of selection seeking this type of opportunity to apply.
