This position is not for a newcomer but there is room to grow. The candidate needs to have 3 to 5 years of this type of family law experience.
The ad goes on to set forth some of the standard things one would expect for this type of role and firm: “knowledge of filing procedures and court forms, excellent grammar and proofreading skills . . .” Even a legal secretary needs to have these skills.
