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 Tennessee, the clerk of the court, also known as the court clerk, is an officer of the court who manages the administrative functions of the court system. The clerk's responsibilities include the filing of legal documents, maintaining court records, collecting court fees and fines, and scheduling court proceedings such as hearings and trials. The clerk may also be responsible for issuing certain legal documents, such as subpoenas and warrants. The specific duties and procedures for court clerks can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of court, such as criminal, civil, or family court. The position of the clerk can be an elected or appointed one, depending on the county or the court's requirements. Tennessee state statutes and local court rules outline the duties and authority of the court clerk within the state's judicial system.
