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
