CAREER OPPORTUNITY: 

The Superior Court of California, County of San Joaquin is now accepting applications for Legal Process Clerk I. The Court will be establishing an eligibility list to hire candidates for several immediate openings, and for future vacancies. This is an excellent opportunity to begin your career with the Court! 

The Legal Process Clerk I is the entry-level class in the Legal Process Clerk series. Incumbents work under direct or general supervision and learn to perform a variety of legal clerical tasks which may include processing, preparing, filing, and maintaining a variety of legal documents; performing data entry and retrieval from court database systems; providing information and assistance to the general public; and performing related work as required.

Initially under close supervision, incumbents apply basic clerical skills while learning specialized court practices and procedures. Positions at this level are not expected to function with the same amount of knowledge or skill level as positions at the Legal Process Clerk II level, and do not exercise the same level of independent direction and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Incumbents may advance to the Legal Process Clerk II class after gaining the knowledge, skills and experience required to meet the qualifications, and demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
