The New York State Unified Court system is currently accepting examination
applications for Court Assistant positions.

Court Assistants work in both the courtrooms or back offices of the New York State Courts

By the the close of filing, July 5, 2017, applicants are required to have: High School diploma or the equivalent and two (2) years of clerical experience*; or four (4) years of clerical experience*. Thirty (30) college level credits may be substituted for each year of work experience.

Starting salary is over $45,000 ($50,000 in New York City)

There are many examination based promotional opportunities. A career in the NYS Court System can lead to future examination based promotional opportunities offering salaries well in excess of $100,000 at longevity.

There is no maximum age limit;

Court Assistants initially accrue 20 annual vacation days, 13 annual sick days
and 11 paid holidays. Vacation day accruals increase to 27 days after seven years.
Court Assistants work 35 hours per week, and enjoy generous benefits and pension plans.

Shomer Shabbos court employees have been accommodated in the
workplace with alternative work schedules.
All Shomer Shabbos applicants should check the box marked "Sabbath Observer" on the application form.
The New York State Unified Court System is an equal opportunity employer.


You must file for the exam by July 5, 2017. Test date is October 7, 2017 (Alternate date for Sabbath observers will be sent to applicants that request it)

The list generated from this test is used to hire Court Assistants for the next FIVE years.
You can take this test even if you are not looking for a job right now.

And don't forget jobs in public universities.

I spent the large part of my career in public service, and it's a rewarding and stable career.

Certain requirement, for education and experience, as stated above, have to be completed by the filing date. Residency and others can be completed by hiring date.

Clerical can be almost anything office related.

Each exam is different, so you have to read announcements carefully. For example, for court officer, you have to meet requirements by date of hiring. So my kids took those test while in high school.

No legal terms. Just general knowledge, reading comprehension, etc.
