The successful candidate will be instrumental in the continuing development and success of the Legal Paraprofessional program.

In implementing alternative methods of providing legal services, the Division and the successful candidate will be responsible for balancing the Supreme Court’s desire to be innovative with the Supreme Court’s direction to protect the public by assuring only qualified applicants become authorized to provide legal services. The Division seeks a qualified individual to serve on the team comprised of Board members and other Division and court personnel to ensure the success of these programs.

In addition, this position performs highly responsible management and compliance duties and is involved in all aspects of the Division’s regulatory board functions. The position will oversee all components of the licensing of non-lawyers to provide legal services. The successful candidate will be comfortable making public speaking appearances to promote and improve the programs. Additionally, the candidate will have experience collaborating with executives, including justices, presiding judges, court administrators, Executive and Legislative Branch leaders, and leadership from the private and nonprofit sectors.
