The Judicial Council

The Judicial Council of California is the
policy setting body for the
state court system and has constitutionally conferred statewide rule-making
authority. This authority includes
developing, advocating for, and allocating
the judicial branch budget. A majority of Council members are California state
justices and
judges; however, the Council also includes lawyers, legislators,
and court administrators.

By enhancing its role as a leadership,
knowledge, and service resource
for the judicial branch, the Judicial Council’s staff organization seeks to
continue to evolve as one of
California’s most dynamic public service entities,
focused on improving access to justice for all Californians by innovating and
responding
to the changing needs of the courts and the public. As a government
body charged with improving the statewide administration of justice, the
Judicial Council has multiple offices with diverse responsibilities relating to
court policy and operations. As employees of the council,
every member of staff
should view and approach their work as one Judicial Council with a public
service mission that is greater than the sum
of its parts.

The Judicial Council strives for work-life balance, including
substantial vacation and holiday time. In addition, we
offer an excellent
benefits package, including pension, medical, dental, and vision coverage,
flexible spending, up to $130 per month
reimbursement for qualifying commuting
costs, student loan forgiveness as part of Public Service Loan Forgiveness
(PSLF), and retirement
savings plans. In San Francisco, the office is only a
7-minute walk from the Civic Center BART station. In Sacramento, the office is

The Judicial Council offers hybrid work arrangements for many positions.
The successful

Council’s San Francisco or Sacramento office at least two days per week, based
