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 Nevada, the clerk of the court is an officer of the court who is responsible for maintaining the court's records, managing the flow of cases, and handling administrative duties. The clerk's responsibilities include filing legal documents, such as lawsuits, motions, and orders; keeping a record of all court proceedings; collecting court fees and fines; and scheduling court hearings and trials. The clerk also assists the public by providing information on court procedures and maintaining a docket of upcoming court cases. The specific duties and procedures may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of court, such as district court, family court, or justice court. The clerk's office is essential for the efficient operation of the judicial system and serves as a liaison between the court, the legal community, and the public.
