The Legal Calendar Clerk is the backbone of our deadline management. You will own the firm-wide calendar across both our family law and personal injury dockets, track court settings and filing deadlines, and prepare and file Notices of Hearing with the appropriate courts.

This is an ideal entry-level opportunity for a detail-oriented, deadline-driven person who wants to build a career in the legal field. No prior legal experience is required — we will train the right candidate on our systems, court e-filing, and Texas court procedures.
