MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
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.

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:
