Overview

We are a plaintiff-side tenant rights law firm representing tenants in wrongful eviction, habitability, and harassment cases across California.

If you are highly organized, comfortable with California court procedures, and take pride in clean, accurate work, this role will be a strong fit.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare and e-file complaints and pleadings in California courts

• Format and finalize documents using firm templates
• Organize and maintain case files in Dropbox
• Assemble and format discovery (RFPs, interrogatories, responses)
• Calendar deadlines and track case progress
• Ensure filings and documents meet court formatting requirements

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

• Experience with Dropbox or similar document systems
• Experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in a professional setting
• Ability to follow structured prompts and workflows without deviating
• Strong judgment in reviewing AI output for errors before finalizing

Traits That Matter

• You catch small mistakes before they become big problems
• You follow instructions precisely without needing repeated guidance
• You take ownership of your work and meet deadlines consistently
• You are calm, organized, and low-drama
• You do not blindly trust AI output - you verify and clean it
• You can follow a repeatable prompting workflow without improvising
• You are comfortable working inside structured systems rather than creating your own

Details
