Description:
A Judicial Law Clerk is a quasi-judicial officer who performs work that
would otherwise be performed by a Commissioned Judge, Senior Judge,
Hearing Officer, Master or Conciliator in the Court of Common Pleas. The
primary role of a Judicial Law Clerk is to provide legal research and
support directly to one or more Commissioned Judges to whom they are
assigned; additional roles include providing support to Senior Judges,
Hearing Officers, Masters and Conciliators, and temporarily acting in
the capacity of a Hearing Officer, Master or Conciliator. A Judicial Law
Clerk operates with a moderately high degree of independence in the
execution of daily responsibilities. This position is supervised by,
reports to, and acts upon authority delegated by the Judges of the Court
and the District Court Administrator.
