Job Description
POSITION OVERVIEW:
The Deputy Clerk II plays a critical part in the daily operations of the Clerk’s Office for the Second District Court of Appeal. While the position offers opportunities for initiative, it also requires hands-on support of essential daily tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for someone comfortable working at all levels — from appellate case processing to scanning and preparing mail.

Most current staff are long-time employees who reside a considerable distance from the courthouse and, as a result, work remotely for extended periods. This position is expected to serve as an on-site presence. 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.
