Membership is open to any young person who supports our objectives and is ready to help build legal awareness across Zimbabwe.
Our register recognises initial members, and any other young person between the ages of 15 and 35 who is admitted by the Executive Board in line with the constitution. Any person — an individual or an incorporated body — who supports JCC's purpose is eligible to apply.
The Secretary maintains a register with each member's name, address, contact details and email address. Current members can access this register, but any information drawn from it must only be used in ways relevant to members' interests or rights.
Send a letter or email stating your intention to join Junior Court Counsel — use the form below or write directly to juniorcourtcounsel26@gmail.com.
Confirm that you support the aims and objectives set out in our constitution — legal awareness, empowerment and community development.
Confirm that you agree to comply with the JCC constitution, which binds every member equally.
The Executive Board reviews and approves new members in accordance with the constitution before you're added to the register.
Held once a year, towards the end of our financial year (November). The Executive Board reports on the year's achievements, treasury reports are read, and members vote on any proposed changes to the constitution.
Held once every two months, bringing together the Executive Board, Standing Committee and general membership to work through standard organisational business.
Once approved, members can get involved through one of five departments: Legal Affairs; Gender; Women, Children & People Living with Disability; Information, Networking, Relations & Social Welfare; and Coordination & Projects.
All members, clients, partners and advisors are governed by our code of conduct, which is approved by a two-thirds majority of the governing board and always reads consistently with the constitution.
