Administration

The Office of the Superior Court Administrator performs the executive functions to enable the judges to focus on adjudication of cases.

The Superior Court Judge does not have Judicial Assistants therefore, contact with Judges should go through the Court Administrator.  Court Administrators do not give legal advice.

The Administrator handles all the fiscal and logistical needs of the courts. The office provides access to several services in connection with the administration of justice, such as:

• Public Defenders Contracts

• Guardian ad Litem Services

• Drug Testing Information

• Parenting Classes

• Mediation Services

• Settlement Conferences
