Strong knowledge of California state and federal court rules, excellent organizational skills, and strong written and verbal communication are essential. Proficiency in Microsoft Office is required, and flexibility to work overtime and weekends based on department needs is expected.

Salary range: $95,000–$110,000, plus health care, retirement benefits, paid time off, parental leave, life insurance, FSA, and performance-based bonuses.
