Deputy Clerk III - District Court - 22003465
The Deputy Clerk III is a senior-level clerical role that plays a critical part in the daily operations of the Clerk's Office for the Second District Court of Appeal. While the position includes leadership responsibilities and opportunities for initiative, it also requires hands-on support of essential daily tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is comfortable working at all levels
from appellate case processing to scanning or preparing mail when needed. We are a small, collaborative team supporting one another and assisting the court in carrying out its mission. Most current staff are long-time employees who reside a considerable distance from the new courthouse and, as a result, work remotely for extended periods. This position is expected to serve as an on-site presence at the new location. Full-time, in-office work is required for the first year. After one year of successful performance, limited remote work may be considered, depending on operational needs. Working at the direction of the Chief Deputy Clerk, the position's essential function is to perform detailed tasks for the Office of the Clerk of the Court related to the processing of appellate case files. Responsibilities may include: managing designated appellate case processing tasks, processing and distributing incoming documents and pleadings, reviewing filings for completeness and compliance, preparing and issuing orders, opinions, and mandates, maintaining accurate electronic and physical records, including database management, drafting routine correspondence and proofreading documents for accuracy, responding to in-person and telephone inquiries, serving as a liaison to court personnel and other court clerks, and assisting with mail scanning and outgoing mail preparation as needed. Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, ability to follow written and verbal instructions, discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential information, strong written and verbal communication skills, proficiency in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat, ability to learn and navigate a complex case management system, familiarity with legal terminology and court procedures, and ability to lift boxes weighing up to 25 pounds overhead.
