clerk of the court

The clerk of the court is generally the person who is responsible for all administrative tasks related to the court’s functions—including the filing of documents, recordkeeping, and scheduling of hearings, trials, and other matters before the court.

In Arkansas, the clerk of the court, often referred to as the circuit clerk, is a county official responsible for managing the administrative functions of the court system. This includes the filing of legal documents, maintaining court records, scheduling court proceedings such as hearings and trials, and ensuring that the court's activities are organized and recorded properly. The circuit clerk may also handle the collection of court fees and fines, issuing of licenses, and the management of jury selection processes. The specific duties and responsibilities of the clerk of the court are outlined in the Arkansas Code and may vary slightly by county. The position of the clerk is typically an elected one, ensuring that the individual holding the office is accountable to the public for the efficient and effective management of the court's administrative tasks.
