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 Ohio, the clerk of the court is an officer of the court who manages various administrative tasks essential to the court's operations. The clerk's responsibilities include the filing of legal documents, maintaining court records, handling court fees and fines, and scheduling court proceedings such as hearings and trials. The clerk also assists the public by providing access to court records and may issue marriage licenses and other official documents. The specific duties and procedures may vary by jurisdiction and court level, but the role of the clerk is critical in ensuring the efficient and orderly administration of justice within the state's legal system.
