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 West Virginia, the clerk of the court, often referred to as the circuit clerk, is responsible for managing the administrative functions of the court. This includes the filing of legal documents, maintaining court records, scheduling court proceedings such as hearings and trials, and ensuring that the court's operations run smoothly. The circuit clerk may also handle financial transactions for the court, including the collection of fees and fines. The role of the clerk is critical to the judicial process, providing support to the judges, attorneys, and the public. The specific duties and procedures are outlined in state statutes and court rules, which guide the clerk's responsibilities and ensure the integrity of the court's administrative processes.
