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 Vermont, the clerk of the court, also known as the court clerk, is an officer of the court who manages the administrative aspects of the court's operations. This includes the responsibility for the filing and maintenance of legal documents, such as lawsuits, appeals, and motions. The court clerk also oversees recordkeeping, ensuring that all court records are accurately kept and are accessible as required by law. Additionally, the clerk is tasked with scheduling court proceedings, including hearings and trials, and may also be involved in the collection of court fees and fines. The specific duties and procedures may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of court, such as family, criminal, or civil court. Vermont state statutes and rules of court outline the responsibilities and authority of the court clerk, ensuring the efficient and orderly administration of justice within the state's judicial system.
