The California Supreme Court Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions (CJEO) is accepting applications for a fulltime paralegal. The position is being recruited at levels I, II, or senior and will be staffed at a level commensurate with the qualifications of the selected individual.
Article VI, section 18(m) of the California Constitution charges the Supreme Court with adopting the Code of Judicial Ethics to govern the conduct of judges and judicial candidates.
The Supreme Court has adopted rule 9.80 of the California Rules of Court and established the Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions to provide judicial ethics advisory opinions and advice to judicial officers, candidates for judicial office, and the public. In providing its opinions and advice, the committee acts independently of the Supreme Court, the Commission on Judicial Performance, and all other entities. The committee relies on and interprets the California Code of Judicial Ethics, the decisions of the Supreme Court and of the Commission on Judicial Performance, and other relevant sources in its opinions and advice.
The committee is authorized to provide ethics advice to judicial officers and candidates for judicial office, and to consider suggestions from the public when issuing formal written opinions, informal written opinions, and expedited advice.
The Supreme Court of California offers a hybrid work schedule with two days per week in the office and three days per week remote, depending on work assignments.
