E-filings- at the state or federal level or both? Both. We file in different jurisdictions nationwide, and at state, federal, appellate levels, so they need to have strong filing experience.
Drafting docs- which ones? Are they ‘drafting’ or ‘putting together’? Are templates provided? Notices, letters, discovery shells and discovery with responses obtained from client. The more experienced they are, the more they’ll be able to contribute to initial drafts of briefs or assistance with research in support.
Put together TOAs, do they also have to know how to put together TOCs? Yes, both, but TOAs are more challenging. If they know how to do TOA, then they will also know how to do TOC. But doing a TOC does not mean they know how to do a TOA. Requires strong knowledge of Word to properly format the brief, line spacing, footers, in addition to TOAs
Research case law on Westlaw or LexisNexis yes, we use both
