Nature of Work

------------------


The fundamental reason this classification exists is to perform clerical, legal and technical support in the daily operations of the Municipal Court. Employees in this class interact regularly with the public, including attorneys, citizens, and law enforcement personnel. The work responsibilities include performing general clerical and cashier duties, processing and issuing legal documents, conducting warrants and alias checks for dispatchers, scheduling court dates, receiving misdemeanor guilty pleas, and dismissing violations. The Court Operations Clerk I differs from the Court Operations II in that the employee is responsible for routine clerical, legal and technical duties. Work is generally reviewed for accuracy and conformity with federal, state, and local laws by a Court Operations Clerk II and/or Court Operations Supervisor. Employees exercise authority within established laws and guidelines with some independence. General supervision is received from the Court Operations Supervisor.
