2d DCA job openings!

The Second District Court of Appeal has job openings for appellate attorneys in the central staff department. Attorneys in central staff are assigned to different divisions to work for justices as the need arises (for example, to fill in for chambers attorneys who are on leave or to work with pro tem justices). Assignments are coordinated through the court’s managing attorney and the administrative presiding justice. When assigned to particular justices, central staff attorneys typically perform all the functions of a chambers attorney, including reviewing briefs, researching and analyzing issues, and working with the justice to prepare an initial draft of the opinion. Those who are interested can apply through the court’s website at https://www.courts.ca.gov/careers.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en
