• Hours: Approximately 5–20 hours per week (variable based on workload)
• Location: Remote, with occasional in-person needs in EDVA court locations (TBD)
• Compensation: Hourly rate commensurate with experience.

Additional Details

• This role is well-suited for someone seeking supplemental income or reduced hours, not a full-time position
• Potential for a long-term contractor relationship for the right candidate
