Friend of the Court expands efforts to recruit for current open legal positions

from Wayne County Friend of the Court

The great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

For any attorney who has pondered their current career path and felt as though their career trajectory has been missing the “doing for others” piece of which Dr. King spoke, a career at the Friend of the Court might just be the cure for that problem. Wayne County Friend of the Court currently has positions open for Family Domestic Referees and Friend of the Court Attorneys.  Both of these career opportunities at the Friend of the Court offer a place for those dedicated to public service, specifically those dedicated to public service for families and children.

Benefits of working for the Wayne County Friend of the Court include a better work-life balance. There are no hours to bill, no clients from which to request payments, no late evening or weekend phone calls and a steady, every two weeks paycheck. The work is voluminous and can, at times, be stressful, but there is a point in the day in which you can stop working and disconnect from the job. There is a huge sense of fulfillment in knowing that you are helping improve the lives of children in Wayne County, either by helping get paternity established, get a child support entered, enforce a child support order or assist to enforce a parent seeking parenting time.

Another benefit of working at the Wayne County Friend of the Court is working with and for a diverse group of people.  Arguably the most diverse county in the State of Michigan, Wayne County services families from various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, religious and cultural backgrounds. The Third Circuit Court recognizes diversity and inclusion is a pillar of excellence and is committed to recruiting and hiring individuals of all races, genders, colors, religions, and other diverse identities. A diverse talent pool and an inclusive work culture allow the Court to innovate and employ best practices, build trust and confidence in the judicial branch of government, and to provide exemplary public services and programs.

Keeping this in mind, the Wayne County Friend of the Court has expanded its efforts in recruiting for the current open legal positions. Chief Judge Timothy M. Kenny, Presiding Judge Kathleen M. McCarthy, Executive Court Administrator Zenell Brown, and Friend of the Court Erin Lincoln attended various diversity bar meetings, such as the Wolverine Bar Association, D. Augustus Straker Bar Association and Black Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, in order to speak about the Family Domestic Section and the job opportunities available. In addition, a virtual session was held to give those interested in Friend of the Court work a more in-depth view of the day-to-day work of Friend of the Court Referees and Attorneys.

For those asking themselves Dr. King’s most persistent and urgent question and deciding that a life dedicated to public service at Wayne County Friend of the Court might be the right path, please visit www.3rdcc.org for job postings and more information on how to apply.
