Document processing, and/or record keeping, and preparation and presentation of legal cases in jury and bench trials is necessary to fulfill this position. Additionally, this person must be able to analyze cases and negotiate with other attorneys. Court room presence is required and frequent travel to other courts within the district is required. Frequent overtime hours are necessary, and being on call for questions from law enforcement and to respond to scenes to give advice is required.
