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 New Mexico, the clerk of the court, often referred to as the court clerk, is a key administrative officer within the judicial system. The court clerk's responsibilities encompass a wide range of duties that are essential to the smooth operation of the court. These duties include the filing of legal documents, maintaining court records, managing the docket, and scheduling court proceedings such as hearings and trials. The clerk also handles the collection of court fees and fines, and in some cases, may assist the public in filing various legal forms. The specific duties and procedures may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of court, such as district courts, magistrate courts, or the New Mexico Supreme Court. The role of the court clerk is governed by state statutes, court rules, and administrative orders that outline the clerk's responsibilities and ensure the proper administration of justice.
