how does a person become a circuit court clerk?

Answer 1

That all depends...in Florida, the County Circuit has a Clerk who is an elected Official but the Deputy Clerk's in most county's are hired through their County HR or Personnel or through County Civil Service. The Clerk of the Circuit (COUNTY not FEDERAL) Court in Florida has to have enough experience to handle the job. And the job is very extensive. You oversee thousands of employees in some big cities...so it's not small potatoes job.

Hope this helps some.

Deputy Clerk's are a start...you do some heavy filing and clerical and should be bondable as a Notary Public for a start.

Answer 2

From my experience, only people who have attended and graduated law school wind up being clerks in the Federal courts. There is a demand for knowledgeable graduates in this area because of the constitutional law that is involved on a Federal level.Tthere is also a shortage of jobs for lawyers because once they get out of law school they begin to have to pay back their student loans and cannot afford to open a practice themselves.

Answer 3

Go to the library or maybe online. Look for the county job listings in your county. It will list all the jobs, their requirements, and pay scales. I would think every county would be different so it doesn't help you to guess what the requirements are.

Answer 4

apply when the postings go out for the state

What state are you in? In Cali go to courtinfo.ca.gov and see if there are listings then apply. If you tell me your name I will be sure not to delete your incoming mail as I handle all that for the State of California

Answer 5

You need to graduate from law school first.
