Business Outlook
Pros
I truly enjoy my work as a bailiff in King Count Superior Court, and appreciate the latitude I have to manage my day to day tasks. Bailiffs work directly for their Judge, yet support other courtrooms as able when their courts are not in session.
Cons
There is very little training when becoming a bailiff, so you must be able to learn on the fly, and pick up a great variety of tasks quickly, and work well both independently, as well as in coordination with others. Although it is nice to work directly for your Judge, that also means you are an at-will employee, and not guaranteed employment if your Judge leaves the bench. Coverage while you are out of the office can be quite challenging, as well.
