• Legal and procedural knowledge: Familiarity with court or administrative hearing processes, notice requirements, and filing deadlines; or the demonstrated ability to acquire this knowledge quickly through training.
• Technology: Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and standard office equipment; ability to learn CaseOK and other agency systems. Typing of at least 35 wpm.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal communication with judges, attorneys, pro se parties, and internal staff; professional demeanor in a legal environment.
• Organization and adaptability: Ability to manage multiple competing deadlines, adapt to procedural changes, and work independently with minimal supervision.

• Two years of administrative, clerical, legal support, court, scheduling, or related office experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience in a legal, court, or high-volume scheduling environment preferred.
• Experience using electronic case management or other digital database systems preferred.

Conditions of Employment
