Folks with law office background...

I need your help. I've been a paralegal at a family law office for a little over two months now. Today the attorney I work for asked me to hire a part-time file clerk but gave me no real clue of what she wants. I have a vague idea of what the office needs but I was hoping to get some input from those of you who have been at this a little longer than me.  

Here's what have drafted right now:

Family law firm has a position available immediately for a part-time file clerk. Primary duties are sorting and labeling documents and file maintenance. Other responsibilities may include relief reception, filing, faxing, photocopying and assisting attorneys and paralegal in office-related projects. Must be able to lift a minimum of 20 pounds. The ideal candidate will have at least a rudimentary knowledge of legal terms and procedures. Please send a cover letter and resume to ...

 

Is there anything that you would add/take out? What makes for a good file clerk?

TIA!

Re: Folks with law office background...

  • I think that sounds perfect!!  I have worked for family law firms for about six years.  Of course you will still get some quirky people that don't understand how serious but not serious the job is.  But, you may just find a gem!  I might add something that says, "ability to handle confidential information is a must".

  • At the firms I've worked at, the file clerks usually do some running (hand-delivering documents, etc.).  I would include that in the job description if it's a requirement for the position.
