Position Description
Los Angeles Superior Court is the largest unified trial court in the United States. Its 580 judges and commissioners work in one of the 36 facilities within the Court's 12 judicial districts and are supported by 5,000 full-time Court employees. The Court has an annual budget of over $1 billion.

ABOUT THE POSITION:
The Legislative Analyst serves the Court by performing complex research, analysis and interpretation of state, county, municipal and judicial branch-level policy and proposed policy changes. In this work, the Legislative Analyst investigates, identifies and communicates implications of proposed policy changes on the Court's operations, finances, systems and processes and formulates recommendations for Court leadership. The Legislative Analyst also interacts with elected officials and their staff on behalf of the Court, identifying resolutions to constituent issues and answering questions or providing general information relating to court programs and policies. The Legislative Analyst also assists in planning and executing events and briefings relating to the objectives and goals of the Court's Legislative Affairs Division.
The Legislative Analyst acts with a degree of independence and is required to exercise sound professional judgment, as well as possess a thorough knowledge of various policy analysis methods to provide professional recommendations. Work is often assigned on a project basis, and usually culminates in conclusions and/or recommendations communicated in a variety of formats, such as policies, procedures, guidelines, memoranda, reports, papers, presentations, charts, diagrams or spreadsheets. Positions in this class require skill in interacting with all levels of management, judicial officers and external stakeholders to obtain information, often of a sensitive and confidential nature, necessary to complete assigned projects and responsibilities. The Legislative Analyst is distinguished from the Senior Legislative Analyst in that the latter performs a review more complex and/or sensitive work regarding analysis and coordination of legislative advocacy strategies at the state level, with results having a greater impact on the Court.
