Work may involve responsibility for a specific area of court case processing or for performing a variety of advanced clerical functions, which requires the application of independent judgment and the interpretation of routine policies and procedures based on training and knowledge gained through experience on the job. Advice and assistance will normally be provided as needed by a higher level court clerk or other supervisor but most functions will be performed with a minimum of checking or other supervision. Positions in this class are distinguished from Court Clerk I by the degree of independence and responsibility exercised and the variety of work tasks assigned. Work may include and/or require the ability to perform lower level Court Clerk I duties. Work is reviewed by a supervisor through observation of operations and on the basis of results achieved.

When not engaged as interpreter, court clerical duties are carried out. Work requires knowledge of the Spanish language and the ability to read, speak and write Spanish. Must be able to plan, organize, and maintain work flow. Knowledge of the culture and customs of the groups and communities using the language is also required.
