    Description

    Job Posting: Graduate Legal Assistant

    Department of Human Resources

    JC Graduate Legal Assistant
    GRADUATE LEGAL ASSISTANT

    $5, $6,085.00 per Month

    Final Filing Date: 5/31/2024

    Job Description and Duties

    This position provides hybrid telework opportunities, with employees required to work in-person at least two days per week.

    Upon passage of the California State Bar, do you want to be the first chair litigating administrative hearings and arbitrations and supporting attorneys in civil court - all while maintaining a work-life balance, collaborating with a supportive team of attorneys and assistants, AND having multiple telework days?

    If so, join the small boutique law firm that is California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) Legal Division. Under a supervising attorney you will have the opportunity to work on diverse labor and employment duties-including litigating a wide variety of interesting and impactful labor and employment cases, conducting training, performing workplace investigations, providing in-house counsel on employment and personnel matters, and consulting and drafting legal opinions for high level executives on sensitive issues and projects. Unlike many other state departments, CalHR attorneys are authorized to independently represent CalHR and other departments in civil litigation, including both state and federal courts, and appellate courts in labor law matters. Our attorneys regularly argue consequential matters in superior and appellate courts that involve important public policy issues, and which ultimately may result in published decisions and shape the law.

    Under the supervision of the Deputy Chief Counsel and directly reporting to an Assistant Chief Counsel, the Graduate Legal Assistant performs legal research and facilitates preliminary work in preparing legal matters for hearing. The Graduate Legal Assistant must be able to effectively carry out assigned tasks with supervision, be able to work independently or in a team environment, have strong communication skills, and work well under pressure. The Graduate Legal Assistant performs legal analysis and routine legal research; prepares drafts of legal documents, briefs, reports, and notices; serves legal papers; secures information regarding court decisions; assists in the work of a law library; keeps records and indexes of legal cases; and prepares memoranda and correspondence.

    Active membership in the California State Bar must be obtained within 24 months of appointment date.

    Minimum Requirements

    You will find the Minimum Requirements in the Class Specification.

    Additional Documents

    Special Requirements

    You must submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). You need to provide direct responses to each of the numbered items. You must include the numbered item followed by your response. Include specific examples of your education, training, and/or experience. Limit your SOQ to one (1) page, single-spaced, twelve-point Arial font.

    1. What do you think are the most important characteristics of an attorney at the California Department of Human Resources? How do your education, skills, and experience correspond to those characteristics?
    Note: If you do not follow the instructions, you may not move forward in this recruitment. Cover letters and resumes do not take the place of the SOQ.
