Circuit Court is a court of record, a court of general jurisdiction. The clerks of Circuit Court are responsible for accepting the filing of lawsuits, after which they create case files and input data into our Court Management Computer System. We continue to monitor those new cases by accepting additional pleadings and filings, scheduling cases for motions, hearing, and trials. In addition, clerks process and maintain all orders of the court.
