POSITION SUMMARY:
Are you interested in joining an innovative team that serves a critical role for the Arizona Judiciary? Would you like to be part of a forward-thinking management team? Then this is the job for you!
The Supreme Court adopted rules authorizing additional ways to practice law in Arizona to improve the delivery of legal services to those underserved. These changes are innovative, and Arizona is leading other jurisdictions in both the adoption and development of these alternatives. The rules authorize the licensing of Alternative Business Structures; businesses that provide legal advice but that can be owned by non-lawyers. The rules also authorize the licensing of Legal Paraprofessionals and lay advocates; non-lawyers who may provide limited scope legal advice and representation or other legal support services. The successful candidate will be instrumental in the continuing development and success of the Alternative Business Structures program.
In implementing alternative methods of providing legal services, the Division and the successful candidate will be responsible for balancing the Supreme Court’s desire to be innovative with the Supreme Court’s direction to protect the public by assuring only qualified applicants become authorized to provide legal services. The Division seeks a qualified individual to serve on the team comprised of Committee members and other Division and court personnel to ensure the success of these programs.
In addition, this position performs highly responsible management and compliance duties and is involved in all aspects of the Division’s regulatory committee functions. The position will oversee all components of the licensing of businesses to perform legal services, which requires understanding and communicating highly complex business structures, and will have a significant role in the licensing of non-lawyers to provide legal services. The successful candidate will be comfortable making public speaking appearances to promote and improve the programs. Additionally, the candidate will have experience collaborating with executives, including justices, presiding judges, court administrators, executive and legislative branch leaders, and leadership from the private and nonprofit sectors.
The Arizona Supreme Court invites applications for the Program Manager position.
