Deputy Clerk IV

This is a great opportunity to learn about how the state’s highest court for civil cases operates. You will be trained by the Clerk of the Court in Texas appellate procedure and the internal operating procedures of the Supreme Court of Texas. And you will have an opportunity to meet and observe the Justices of the Supreme Court of Texas as they hear oral argument in important civil cases.

Deputy Clerks are generally responsible for receiving, filing, and docketing cases appealed from the courts of appeals to the Supreme Court of Texas, answering telephone and in-person inquiries from attorneys and the public about cases filed with the Court, docketing original proceedings, certifying documents, assisting with the issuance of certificates of good standing for attorneys, assisting with the issuance of law licenses, and completing special projects assigned by the Clerk of the Court on an as needed basis. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a sense of curiosity and desire to learn about court procedures and a willingness to collaborate with team members while working harmoniously in a small office setting.
