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:

• 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
