  • Experience supporting discovery, reviewing extensive records, organizing evidence, preparing exhibits and chronologies, and assisting with hearing or trial preparation. 
  • Strong writing, proofreading, organizational, and document-management skills. 
  • Ability to manage competing deadlines independently and communicate responsively in a remote environment. 
  • Willingness to learn special education terminology, procedures, and case workflows. 
  • Sound judgment when handling sensitive information and communicating with families. 

Preferred Qualifications 
  • Experience with special education law, disability rights, IEPs, or educational records.
