A court clerk (British English: clerk to the court or clerk of the court/klɑːrk/; American English: clerk of the court or clerk of court/klɜːrk/) is an officer of the court whose responsibilities include maintaining records of a court and administering oaths to witnesses, jurors, and grand jurors[1][2] as well as performing some quasi-secretarial duties.[3] The records management duties of a court clerk including the acceptance of documents for filing with the court to become part of the court's official records, preserving and protecting those records, providing the general public with access to those records, and maintaining the docket, register of actions, and/or minutes of the court which list all filings and events in each case.[3] These duties are important because the availability of legal relief often depends upon the timely filing of documents before applicable deadlines.
