    • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to juggle high-volume, deadline-driven matters
    • Collaborative mindset and ability to function effectively as part of a team-oriented department
    • Comfortable with judges, opposing counsel, and internal staff interactions
    • Tech-savvy and confident using modern case management systems and billing tools
    • Preferred Experience:
      • Experience in consumer protection, Lemon Law, or complex civil litigation
      • Oral argument experience, particularly in motion or fee-related hearings
