Tompkins County is Committed to Equity and Inclusion. We encourage those with similar values to apply.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Admission to the Bar in New York State.  Applicants must provide verification that they have passed the NYS Bar exam and provide a current Certificate of Good Standing from the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division. Appointee is required to maintain the certificate of good standing for the duration of his or her career.

NOTE: Because their responsibilities in support of the Child Support division will entail access to protected Federal Tax Information, all prospective appointees to this title must pass a criminal history background check. Toward that end, they will be required to provide a complete and accurate residential address history (on which inquiries to local law enforcement will be based) and to have their fingerprints checked against State and/or Federal criminal databases.
