certification or have the ability to obtain and maintain required credentials
consistent with court expectations.
The ideal candidate will bring
strong judgment, attention to detail, professionalism, and the ability to

excellent service to litigants, attorneys, and the public.

- 38 hours per week (full-time)
- 12% employer-paid retirement
