The Litigation Management Oversight Directorate, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)’s sector Litigation Management Unit’s develop and coordinate, in conjunction with Justice Canada and other government departments, CIRNAC/ISC’s positions on policy, technical issues and legal positions related to all litigation against the Crown where CIRNAC/ISC is the Department responsible for the impugned actions, as well as all litigation that the Crown brings against others on behalf of CIRNAC/ISC. Litigation cases are broad-ranging and involve all sectors of the Department. In the delivery of its responsibilities, the Department has an ongoing need for the determination and planning of research requirements arising in litigation and the analysis and written presentation of documentary evidence from historical sources, government records, past and present CIRNAC/ISC Program personnel and various professionals within the field.
The Directorate seeks Individuals to work with the Directorate and the Department’s various sectors to conduct all of the research analysis, research and writing required to ensure that a complete evidentiary record is compiled for use in litigation or litigation-related activities; to plan, manage and direct research projects and teams; to conduct primary and secondary research to identify, collect, summarize and extract information from documents related to CIRNAC/ISC litigation, to create document collections, document databases, bibliographies, reports, file summaries, map/survey collections and provide other related research services.
