Had quick interviews with clerks and then the judge. It was low stakes, and they just wanted to know about my interests and why I wanted to work there. I wouldn't stress too much about this interview.

The HR Unit at the courts handled the interview process well. I got a call to set up an interview with an HR Associate, who was my first contact. The interview lasted about two hours. I met with my manager first. She went over her projects and the support needed. I also met one of her managers. Afterward, I took a typing, grammar, and Excel test. I was given business cards and had the chance to ask about commuter vouchers.
