OFFICE OF THE CHIEF LITIGATION OFFICER PRESENTATION TO THE JUSTICE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE 6 MARCH 2007

BACKGROUND ON THE BRANCH The Branch is new, but incorporates some existing Units which previously resided in the Legal Advisory Services Branch The structure of the Branch consists of the following Units: Office of the Chief Litigation Officer State Attorney Offices Law Enforcement Legal Process

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF LITIGATION OFFICER The Structure of the office of the Chief Litigation Officer is in the process of being finalised, but currently consists of: The Chief Litigation Officer (CLO); and Executive Assistant

STATE ATTORNEY OFFICES There are 10 State Attorney Offices, located at the following seats of the High Court: Pretoria Johannesburg Durban Cape Town Port Elizabeth East London (which was relocated from Bhisho) Bloemfontein Mafikeng Thohoyandou; and Kimberley

CHIEF DIRECTORATE: LEGAL ADMINISTRATION This Chief Directorate consists of the two directorates, namely: Law Enforcement; and Legal Process

CHALLENGES FOR THE CLO’S OFFICE ARE: The rightsizing of human and other resources, to be able to deliver efficient and professional services to all it’s clients and stakeholders Reported limited publicity of public service operations of the Legal Process Unit With regard to State Attorney Offices, the added challenge is to be able to compete with the Private Sector, which leads challenges against client Departments. This challenge is manifest in: High staff turnover Staff with overloaded work volumes, which has an impact on staff morale The high rate of outsourcing of High Court and Constitutional Court litigation to the Private Sector

ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES: PROJECTS Projects for the year, aimed at addressing the challenges alluded to, include the following: Finalising the process of turning of State Attorney offices into professional units Creating a Unit for In-house Counsel Creation and distribution of pamphlets on pardons and other criminal and civil process applications Roadshows to promote access to services rendered directly to the public Promotion of the Legal Services Charter Rolling out an HR development plan, which involves: Determining the capacity needs of the offices, and putting a plan in place to address them; Proper placement of personnel within the offices Conducting a skills audit in the offices, and designing training plans to address identified skills shortages Enhancing the appreciation and implementation of the Performance Management system

PROJECTS (CONT.) Two major projects for the Unit this year are: Producing a Litigation Risk Analysis Report; and Formulating a Litigation Strategy for government Central to the successful completion of all the listed projects is the provision of sufficient capacity in the core office of the CLO.
