THE JOB: The Santa Cruz County Counsel’s Office is seeking an experienced attorney specializing in municipal law.

Candidates should have strong writing skills and be able to draft legal documents, ordinances and contracts. Broad litigation experience is not necessary, but having basic litigation skills will make candidates more competitive for the position (e.g., experience with evidentiary hearings, drafting briefs and position papers, etc.).
