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 Oklahoma, the clerk of the court, often referred to as the court clerk, is a key administrative officer within the judicial system. The court clerk is responsible for managing the flow of cases through the court, maintaining court records, handling the collection of court fees and fines, and ensuring that all court documents are filed and processed according to legal requirements. The clerk's duties also include scheduling hearings, trials, and other judicial proceedings. The role of the court clerk is critical in ensuring the efficient operation of the court and providing assistance to the public, attorneys, and the judiciary. The specific duties and procedures may vary slightly depending on the jurisdiction within the state, whether it's a district court, municipal court, or appellate court. Oklahoma state statutes and local court rules outline the responsibilities and authority of the court clerk.
