• Case Management: Maintain calendars, filing deadlines, and client communication.

2. YouTube & Social Media Management

• Video Post-Production: Edit raw recordings of legal research and “jurisprudence explainers” into high-quality, professional videos.

• Channel Growth: Manage the YouTube Studio backend, including SEO-optimized titles, tagging, and timestamping (chapters) for long-form legal content.

• Content Repurposing: Extract “key takeaways” from long legal videos to create short-form content (Shorts/Reels) that maintains professional standards.

• Compliance: Ensure all uploaded content adheres to legal ethics and does not violate attorney-client privilege.

Technical Requirements

• Legal Expertise: Solid understanding of legal terminology and the ability to navigate jurisprudence databases.

• Platform Mastery: Advanced knowledge of YouTube Studio, including analytics, SEO, and community management.

• Editing Suite: Professional-level skills in video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro).
