Judicial Law Clerk for Judge McAdam

The Indiana Tax Court is currently accepting applications for a Judicial Law Clerk. This is a full-time position with an anticipated start date in April 2025. Applicants interested in either a term clerk position or a career clerk position will be considered.

The Tax Court is one of three State appellate courts in Indiana, alongside the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. The Tax Court hears cases arising under Indiana’s tax laws and is uniquely situated among Indiana’s appellate courts. It regularly considers questions related to administrative law, the rules of evidence and procedure, statutory interpretation, and constitutional interpretation. Decisions of the Court are reviewed directly by the Indiana Supreme Court.

Responsibilities

Law clerks work under the supervision of Judge Justin L. McAdam. Duties are similar to those generally expected of appellate court law clerks and involve a variety of tasks, including legal research and writing, legal analysis, drafting orders and opinions, and providing counsel to the judge and the Court. Law clerks can expect to collaborate closely with other clerks, court personnel, and the judge.

Qualifications

Applicants should possess strong academic qualifications, have strong legal research and writing skills, and be able to communicate complex concepts simply and concisely. Participation in law review, moot court, or other similar experience is advantageous. Prior tax experience is a plus but is not required. 

Salary & Benefits

The salary range for this position is $87,000 - $120,000, depending on experience and qualifications. State of Indiana benefits apply, including: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance; health savings and flexible spending accounts; generous paid leave; new parent leave; remote work; pension and retirement.

To apply, submit a cover letter and resume to Karyn.graves@courts.in.gov on or before March 24, 2025.
