Family Law Case Manager/Paralegal Herston Law Group, PLC, a boutique family-law practice in downtown Knoxville, seeks an intelligent, curious, and organized professional to serve as a Family Law Case Manager/Paralegal. Prior legal experience and formal paralegal training are welcome but not required. We are more interested in judgment, writing ability, organization, initiative, empathy, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn. This is not primarily a clerical role.

The position requires excellent written and verbal communication, meticulous attention to detail, discretion, emotional maturity, technological competence (especially in Microsoft Word), and the ability to manage competing priorities without losing track of commitments. Herston Law Group is a small, lean practice devoted exclusively to Tennessee family law. K.O. Herston has practiced family law for 29 years, is a board-certified Family Trial Law Specialist, served as chair of the Tennessee Bar Association Family Law Section, teaches Domestic Relations as an adjunct professor, and publishes Herston on Tennessee Family Law . The position will initially require regular work in our downtown Knoxville office. A hybrid schedule may become available after the successful candidate is fully trained and has demonstrated the ability to work independently. We would consider either a full-time schedule or a schedule of approximately 30 hours per week. Compensation for full-time employment is expected to range from $50,000 to $58,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. Benefits include paid holidays, paid leave, and a retirement plan with an employer match of up to 3%. Health insurance is not provided. To apply, please submit a résumé, a cover letter explaining why this unusual position interests you, and a short writing sample.
