Clerk of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals
The Clerk’s office serves both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals by providing timely processing and assignment of motions and of appeals for oral argument. The staff works with both courts to accurately and efficiently convey the rulings of each court to all counsel and self-represented litigants. They also maintain the court calendar and produce the courts’ listings of upcoming cases. All efforts combine to assist the appellate courts in the processing of appeals in the most expeditious manner.
