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 Oregon, the clerk of the court, often referred to as the court clerk, is a key administrative officer of the court system. The clerk's responsibilities encompass a wide range of duties that are essential to the smooth operation of the courts. These duties include the filing of legal documents, such as lawsuits, motions, and orders; maintaining court records; managing the docket by scheduling hearings, trials, and other judicial proceedings; and ensuring that the court's activities are properly documented. The clerk may also handle the collection of court fees and fines, and in some cases, the clerk's office assists the public by providing information about court procedures and case statuses. The specific duties and procedures of court clerks in Oregon are governed by state statutes, court rules, and administrative policies.
