In a recent meeting of the Bexar County Commissioners Court, discussions highlighted the ongoing efforts to enhance recruitment for legal positions within the county. Jamisa Jarman, the chief administrative attorney, provided insights into the strategies being employed to attract qualified candidates, particularly from Texas law schools.

Jarman emphasized the importance of targeting all ten law schools in Texas, as the county seeks individuals who are licensed to practice law in the state. The recruitment strategy includes maintaining job postings at these institutions to ensure a steady flow of applicants for misdemeanor positions. Additionally, the county utilizes the Texas District and County Attorneys Association (TDCAA) job bank to further broaden their outreach.

This recruitment initiative is crucial for Bexar County, as it aims to fill essential legal roles that support the local justice system. By focusing on Texas law schools and leveraging established job banks, the county is taking proactive steps to ensure that it attracts a diverse pool of qualified candidates.

As the county continues to address staffing needs, the effectiveness of these recruitment efforts will be closely monitored. The outcome of these initiatives could significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of legal services provided to the community.
