Trial Court Administrator
 
Trial Court Administrators are hired by the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge and the Chief District Court Judge. This is a state-funded position established to improve the administration of justice through professional management. Twelve districts have trial court administrators who are responsible for carrying out the policies of the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge and Chief District Court Judge as well as providing general management for the operations of the court system in their districts.

The Trial Court Administrator's main function is civil case management, to assure that civil cases move through the court system as efficiently and expeditiously as possible. They keep track of civil cases filed in both superior and district courts, determine when cases are ready for trial and assist the judges in preparing the calendar for terms of civil court.

The TCA works directly and through staff as a facilitator for change by initiating and coordinating discussions to identify problems and recommend solutions that lead to a more effective and efficient court system. Specific areas of involvement include: development of local rules and administrative policies to facilitate calendaring and other administrative activities, research and strategic planning, budgeting, personnel oversight, facilities management, grant procurement and administration, program development and project management. In addition to the analyses of effective court operations, the Trial Court Administrator is responsible for the oversight and administration of court services such as:

  • Caseflow and Jury Management
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution
  • Family Court
  • Drug Treatment Court
  • Custody Mediation
  • Fine Collection
  • SelfServe Center
