About the role

The First Judicial District of Pennsylvania is hiring for an entry level clerical position in Family Court. The role involves data input of court outcomes, preparing court lists, and updating case records under direct supervision in a unionized environment. Responsibilities include scheduling court dates, recording dispositions, processing legal instruments, and ensuring accuracy across computer systems. In-person work is required; prior clerical or legal experience is a plus.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
