Daily contact with parties, representatives, authorities, and the public is common. Your tasks may include preparing and planning for trials, handling correspondence, monitoring deadlines, receiving and registering information in cases and matters, taking minutes during hearings, issuing judgments, and archiving documents. You will also, after a decision on delegation, perform actions independently, such as appointing a public defender.

The role of a Court Clerk combines legal precision with a professional and service-oriented approach. A Court Clerk represents the court externally and must be able to meet both the public and professional actors with confidence in a respectful and trustworthy manner.
