Job Description
Summary of Job Classification:
Manages and oversees all operations of the Court Clerk’s Office in designated location(s). Provides leadership and administrative direction to maintain the integrity of court proceedings and records. Responsible for duties as designated in Colorado Revised Statutes Title 13 Part 1. Ensures that the courts are compliant with all processes and procedures outlined by statute, Chief Justice Directives, and administrative orders. Hires, mentors, and develops direct and indirect reports. May also oversee one or more court divisions. May also serve as Jury Commissioner, Probate Registrar, Appeals Clerk, or similar role. The Clerk of Court is a classified, non-certified position that is considered at-will and may be terminated at any time with or without cause.
A three-year average caseload will determine the Clerk of Court’s Job Classification Level. An upgrade in classification level will occur when the three-year average caseload exceeds the required "District Court Case Filings or Equivalent" listed below for two consecutive years. Should the caseload fall below the current incumbent's classification level, the classification will remain frozen until the position is vacated, or the caseload meets the qualifications for an upgrade.
FOR COMPUTATION OF CASELOAD:
District and Combined courts add an additional 3% differential to the court's three year average caseload to account for district court case complexity. (Your three year average caseload is 2,000 cases. As a combined court, you would add an additional 60 cases to your total caseload average.)
2.5 county court cases are equivalent to 1 district court case.
FOR CLASSIFICATION LEVEL:

12,000 - 15,999 = VI

FAQ Item
Jurors are randomly selected and summonsed from driver license records, the Department of Revenue, and voter registration lists by means of a computerized method. To ensure your name and address are correct on your juror summons, you will need to update your personal information with all of these agencies.
Qualifying situations to update your information:
If you have moved out of state and have registered to vote with your current state you will need to withdrawal from the Colorado Secretary of State-Voter Registration to avoid further jury summonses in the state of Colorado. Registering to vote and voting in the new state will not withdrawal you from Colorado Voter Registration.
If you have married and/or changed your legal name you will need to update your name with these agencies to avoid duplicate summonses with different names (i.e., Mary Joe Smith to Mary Joe Smith-Lang). Variation of names with these agencies can cause you to receive more than one summons a year because the system does not recognize it is the same person.
Case Announcement
No, children are not allowed to attend jury service. Many jury trials include exhibits or testimony not appropriate for children.
You will never be asked for your social security number by email or over the phone. You will never be required to wire money or gift cards to avoid immediate arrest. If you have received a call requesting anything you feel may be a scam, please contact your local law enforcement agency.
