Careers

Justice employees are part of a proud tradition of providing legal services and advice to government that dates back 150 years. The work we do is complex, meaningful and rewarding.

Justice Canada is involved in virtually every area of law, across the country, and within some 40 federal departments and agencies. We are responsible for all litigation by or against the government, and support the Attorney General as the Chief Law Officer of the Crown.

How to Apply

The Department of Justice, like many other departments and agencies, does most of its staffing with the assistance of the Public Service Commission. To view job postings and to apply, please visit the Public Service Commission’s website.
