在律政司任職政府律師，工作多元化而具挑戰性，並且有獨特機會發揮及發展專業才能，包括與各決策局、政府部門和執法機關合作，以及就與公眾有重大關係的事宜參與法律決定和程序，私人執業則不會提供這種工作機會。剛取得資格的律師(包括預期在2015年夏季完成實習期者)和具工作經驗的合資格律師，均可申請。在律政司任職政府律師，工作有滿足感，薪酬優厚，且享有多項附帶福利，更有機會晉升至較高級的職位。申請人必須(a)(i) 在《律政人員條例》第2A條及附表2所規定的認可司法管轄區內取得律師資格(註：在2015年9月30日或之前完成實習律師訓練的人士亦可申請，但他們須取得律師資格，方會獲聘)；或(ii)在《律政人員條例》第2A條及附表2所規定的認可司法管轄區內取得大律師資格和全面執業權後，具備1年專業經驗(註：有全面執業權，但在取得全面執業權後並無1年專業經驗的大律師亦可申請。如獲取錄，入職薪酬會定於某個適當的薪點，較政府律師薪級的起薪點為低。在2015年9月30日或之前完成實習大律師實習期的人士亦可申請，但他們須完成實習大律師的訓練，表現令人滿意並取得大律師資格，方會獲聘)；以及(b) 在綜合招聘考試的英文運用[見註(2)及(3)] 試卷取得“二級”成績[見註(1)]，以及在中文運用[見註(2)] 試卷取得“一級”成績。未有取得所需綜合招聘考試成績但符合其他入職條件的人士，亦可提出申請。他們必須在2015年8月31日或之前在英文運用試卷取得“二級”成績和在中文運用試卷取得“一級”成績，方會獲聘。在綜合招聘考試中文運用試卷未能取得“一級”成績的申請人，亦可能獲聘。不過，只有少數中文能力未達所需要求的申請人可能獲聘，視乎律政司的工作需要而定。有關綜合招聘考試的詳情，請瀏覽公務員事務局的網頁(http://www.csb.gov.hk)。
