In addition, the Legal Case Manager will –
1. Review tasks in MyCase (case management system);
2. Ensure that trial preparation begins on time;
3. Be the watchdog that pushes cases along in the pipeline;

7. Prepare daily report on what is happening and what is being worked on for upcoming cases;
8. Prepare daily report on any backlogs or potential issues/backlogs;

10. Be able to spot and verbalize solutions to variations like discovery deficiencies in an alimony case;
11. Know what to do when calendaring conflicts occur; and,
12. Perform as a backup paralegal for our full-time paralegal (16+ hrs/wk).
This is a virtual position and we anticipate that this position will begin at approximately 25-30 hours/wk and has the potential to become full-time.
We are a fun team that respects each other but who also want to do something meaningful and important. We are professional and serious when the situation warrants it. It is important that you can keep a calm disposition in difficult situations.
