Student Aide; UC Berkeley

The Superior Court of California, County of Alameda is accepting applications for the position of Student Aide (UC Berkeley). Under direction, the Student Aide supports the Justice Corps Program Coordinator; performs a variety of administration and technical duties; and performs other related duties as assigned.

The Student Aide will perform clerical duties related to the operation of the Justice Corps program. The Bay Area Justice Corps Program is a regional project sponsored by the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda in partnership with the Superior Court of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, and Bay Area Legal Aid of Contra Costa County. The Justice Corps Program provides assistance to many court users that cannot afford legal representation and need assistance when trying to navigate through complicated court proceedings.

The Student Aide position is distinguished from the Student Assistant (Campus Representative) position in that the role of the Student Aide is more administrative in nature while the Campus Representative role is more involved in program operations.
