Clerk of District Court

The Office of the Clerk of the District Court is administrative in nature.  It is the responsibility of the Clerk, and staff, to receive, record and retain legal pleadings on criminal and civil cases filed in Garden County District Court.  Documents that are filed are scanned, microfilmed, indexed and placed in the Court files. All pleadings are entered electronically into the State Court Administrators statewide computer system known as JUSTICE.

The Clerk of the District Court also serves as Jury Commissioner. Jurors are selected from a list of eligible citizens obtained by combining the list of Keith County’s licensed drivers with a list of registered voters. Jurors will serve on a panel for one (1) year and can be summoned for trials in either District Court or County Court.
