Paralegal - Civil Defense Litigation

Overview You will own civil litigation cases end-to-end with minimal oversight. This is not a support role where attorneys hold your hand through procedures—you are expected to anticipate needs, manage deadlines independently, and function as the operational backbone of active litigation. If you need step-by-step direction or have only touched pieces of the litigation lifecycle, this role will expose those gaps immediately. Responsibilities Conduct and manage CM/ECF filings in Federal and State courts from day one; operate independently without training on electronic filing conventions, local rules, or docketing procedures. Handle billing using ABA task codes with precision and consistency; produce accurate time entries as requested by attorneys and clients. Utilize a litigation document management system daily for organizing discovery, pleadings, and exhibits under pressure. Draft correspondence, discovery responses, and case summaries that attorneys will rely on with minimal revision. Manage multiple active cases with competing deadlines, maintaining organization and timely prioritization as priorities shift. Contribute to running litigation operations autonomously, demonstrating proactive problem solving and independent workflow management. Qualifications Fluent in CM/ECF filing in Federal and State courts, with demonstrated independence in electronic filing. Experience coding litigation tasks using ABA task codes; ability to apply correct codes to time entries. Hands-on experience with a litigation document management system for organizing discovery, pleadings, and exhibits. Strong writing skills with the ability to draft court-ready correspondence, discovery responses, and case summaries.
