Job Information
Robert Half File Clerk in Kankakee, Illinois
Description
Duties:
Robert Half is recruiting Court Runners for a long-term, part-time contract opportunity. Are you interested?
This role will be remote to your area but will involve going to the designated courthouse to retrieve documents on a daily or weekly basis. The hours per week will not exceed 40 and could be as low as 0 on some occasions. This is a true part-time position that requires flexibility.
This position will involve visiting local courts daily or multiple times a week and review court filings. Court Runners will collect legal documents based on requirements established through training on the key filings, rulings, and data. They will scan the documents into a database for client access. Court Runners will be interacting with key court personnel to ensure getting appropriate and speedy access to relevant documents.
The daily job duties of a Court Runner are:
Before going to the courthouse, Runners will use their work laptop to research the cases that they will need to obtain from the courthouse.
Once they have gathered a list of cases that they need, they’ll go to the courthouse to get them. This could be once a day, or a few times per week, depending on the need.
Once at the courthouse, they will either pick up copies the court has for them, make copies on their own, or download and print copies of the cases they need.
They’ll need to review those filings to be sure they are pulling the correct case types for that location (manager will discuss which types are required).
Once they have the case documents, they will return home.
Once home, they will use their work-provided scanner to scan the documents.
Once the documents are scanned onto their work computer, they will then upload those documents into an online portal.
Finally, at 6pm local time they’ll send a report to their manager letting them know which cases were pulled and which cases were uploaded for that day.
