for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to include only sections with real specific content.
Let's extract content:
- Opening/closing dates maybe minor metadata; could be in a short p.
- Target Pay Range/Rate: $16.490-$32.981 per hour or $34,299.20-$68,612.96 annually.
- General Statement of Duties: "Acting under general supervision provides courtroom support and ensures an accurate, and audible, audio/digital recording of judicial proceedings. Using proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. Finalist may be subject to a background check."
- Examples Of Job Duties: a long list. We'll turn into
- items.
- Competencies/Qualifications: list of knowledge areas.
- Work Environment And Physical Demands: description.
- Benefits: list.
- Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications): Education, Experience.
We also have "May act as a Trial Court Administrative Assistant." etc included in duties.
We need to avoid repeating content.
Let's structure:
Opening date: 09-24-2026 – Close date: 10-08-2026. Target pay range: $16.490–$32.981 per hour ($34,299.20–$68,612.96 annually).
Then sections:
About the role
maybe use general statement of duties.
But the instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We have Pay section: we can put Pay heading.
Schedule: we have schedule info.
Responsibilities: we can put job duties.
Requirements: maybe qualifications.
Skills: maybe competencies.
Benefits: benefits.
We need to avoid empty sections.
Let's decide:
- Pay
with p containing pay range.
- Schedule
with p describing possible nights, weekends, holidays, overtime.
- Responsibilities
with ul of duties.
- Skills & Competencies
maybe combine competencies/qualifications.
But we also have Qualifications (minimum qualifications). Could be separate Qualifications
.
We need to not duplicate.
Let's extract duties list items:
Examples Of Job Duties text is a run-on sentence; we need to split into logical items. We'll parse sentences.

We'll split by periods.
Let's create list items:
- Monitor and record judicial proceedings, providing litigants, attorneys, special commissioners, hearing officers, and judges access to the record for appellate review, trial preparation, and preparation of orders.
- Operate and set up audio recording machines or digital recording systems; ensure equipment is working properly.
- Document and time‑stamp events by generating accurate logs of pertinent events/appearances and case notes; verify recordings are audible.
- Gather, deliver, and file receipts for logs and exhibits to maintain accurate record‑keeping procedures.
- Accept, maintain, and file court exhibits, which may include hazardous and/or dangerous items.
- Troubleshoot recording equipment, overhead projector, ELMO, Electronic Visual Evidence Presenter; run updates and maintain technical logs.
- Retain all case material and identification logs, files, and safeguard evidence as public, sequestered, or sealed exhibits.
- Act as a liaison between court personnel, litigants, or attorneys to advance court proceedings.
- Review court files, prepare hearings, and pick up relevant files from judges and clerks.
- Conduct research using computer retrieval systems.
- Conduct training and certifications/re‑certifications for other monitors and employees.
- Travel to other locations to record hearings.
- Draft and prepare orders, legal correspondence, and documents for judges; set hearings.
- May act as a Trial Court Administrative Assistant.
- May process appeals for the Court of Appeals.
- Train on courtroom etiquette, FTR, quick keys, entering exhibits, voir dire, and jury trial processes.
- May perform duties of a Bailiff, including announcing a judge’s entrance and departure and ensuring proper decorum.
- Prepare recordings/burn CDs for out‑of‑county and out‑of‑district proceedings; mail them to the appropriate court(s).
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Now competencies/qualifications list:
"The successful applicant should demonstrate knowledge of diverse types of hearings including jury trials, domestic relations, domestic violence, child support, children’s court, mental health court, grand jury, out of district criminal arraignments, probation violations, etc. Legal abbreviations and terminologies; digital recording and word processing software; legal terminology; courtroom practices and procedures; the difference between providing information and legal advice; filing systems; maintaining exhibits during trial (can include guns, knives, drugs, drug paraphernalia, graphic photos, etc.)."
We can split into items:
- Knowledge of diverse hearing types: jury trials, domestic relations, domestic violence, child support, children’s court, mental health court, grand jury, out‑of‑district criminal arraignments, probation violations, etc.
- Familiarity with legal abbreviations and terminologies.
- Proficiency with digital recording and word processing software.
- Understanding of legal terminology.
- Knowledge of courtroom practices and procedures.
- Ability to distinguish between providing information and giving legal advice.
- Competence with filing systems.
- Skill in maintaining exhibits during trial (including guns, knives, drugs, drug paraphernalia, graphic photos, etc.).
Now Work Environment And Physical Demands:
"Work is performed in an office or court setting. A valid driver's license and travel may be required. The assigned work schedule may include nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime. The employee must regularly interact positively with co-workers, clients, the public, judges, and justices. Must be able to sit for long periods of time focusing on what is being said by the parties with many distractions."
We'll put schedule info already captured; but we can still include work environment description.
We have schedule section separate; we can still include work environment in a
under maybe Work Environment heading, but we only have allowed headings list; we could add a
Work Environment
though not in list but maybe okay? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exhaustive; we can use other headings if needed but better to stick to those. We can incorporate work environment into Schedule or Responsibilities? Probably better to have a Schedule section for schedule info, and we can include work environment description in a
under Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities? But schedule already includes schedule; we can add a separate
Work Environment
but risk deviating. However instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples; we can use other headings as needed but better to follow examples. We could put work environment under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role. But we have About the role not used yet. We could use About the role for general statement of duties. Then Responsibilities for duties list. Then Skills for competencies. Then Qualifications for minimum qualifications. Then Benefits. Then Pay. Then Schedule. That covers all.
Thus we don't need separate Work Environment heading; we can incorporate work environment description into Schedule (since schedule includes nights, weekends etc) or maybe into Responsibilities? But schedule already includes schedule; we can add a
under Schedule that includes both schedule and work environment.
Let's craft:
Pay
Target pay range: $16.490–$32.981 per hour ($34,299.20–$68,612.96 annually).

The assigned work schedule may include nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime. Work is performed in an office or court setting; a valid driver's license and travel may be required.
