Judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers apply the law and oversee the legal process in courts according to local, State, and Federal statutes. They preside over cases concerning every aspect of society, from traffic offenses to disputes over the management of professional sports to issues concerning the rights of huge corporations. All judicial workers must ensure that trials and hearings are conducted fairly and that the court safeguards the legal rights of all parties involved. Matters of immigration and labor are increasingly becoming important in the courts and show no signs of stopping. As a court worker, knowledge of the Spanish language may be required to have job security.
