Job Description

The Deputy Clerk III is a senior-level clerical role that plays a critical part in the daily operations of the Clerk’s Office for the Second District Court of Appeal. While the position includes leadership responsibilities and opportunities for initiative, it also requires hands-on support of essential daily tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is comfortable working at all levels — from appellate case processing to scanning or preparing mail when needed.

We are a small, collaborative team supporting one another and assisting the court in carrying out its mission. Most current staff are long-time employees who reside a considerable distance from the new courthouse and, as a result, work remotely for extended periods. This position is expected to serve as an on-site presence at the new location. 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.

Working at the direction of the Chief Deputy Clerk, the position's essential function is to perform detailed tasks for the Office of the Clerk of the Court related to the processing of appellate case files. Responsibilities may include:
