POSITION OVERVIEW The Deputy Clerk II plays a critical part in the daily operations of the Clerk’s Office for the Second District Court of Appeal. While the position offers opportunities for initiative, it also requires hands‑on support of essential daily tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for someone comfortable working at all levels — from appellate case processing to scanning and preparing mail.
We are a small, collaborative team that supports one another and assists the court in carrying out its mission. Most current staff are long‑time employees who reside a considerable distance from the courthouse and, as a result, work remotely for extended periods. This position is expected to serve as an on‑site presence. 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.
JOB DESCRIPTION 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:
Manage designated appellate case processing tasks
Process and distribute incoming documents and pleadings
Review filings for completeness and compliance
Prepare and issue orders, opinions, and mandates
Maintain accurate electronic and physical records, including database management
Draft routine correspondence and proofread documents for accuracy
Respond to in‑person and telephone inquiries
Serve as a liaison to court personnel and other court clerks
Assist with mail scanning and outgoing mail preparation
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES
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
Ability to lift boxes weighing up to 25 pounds overhead
