1 How much of what a court jury coordinator is expected to do is already part of an intellectual property consultant’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the court jury coordinator role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A court jury coordinator role treats 3 of its required skills as things an intellectual property consultant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • court procedures
  • protect client interests
  • provide legal advice

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A court jury coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an intellectual property consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held present legal arguments communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held interpret law communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held present arguments persuasively communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide legal advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held court procedures business, administration and law
  • already held legal research business, administration and law

All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the court jury coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

FAQ

Common questions about this move

Can an intellectual property consultant become a court jury coordinator?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. An intellectual property consultant already covers 29% of what a court jury coordinator is expected to do: 7 skills carry over, 3 of which the court jury coordinator role treats as required.

What skills does an intellectual property consultant need to become a court jury coordinator?

7 required skills are missing, plus 11 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is advise on trial strategies.

How hard is the move from intellectual property consultant to court jury coordinator?

Its learning distance is 63.7 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
