Court Administration

The Eighth Judicial District Court established a Court Administration Office in the fall of 1974.  Under the direction of the Chief Judge, this office is responsible for personnel and fiscal affairs, security and public safety of court facilities, the introduction and integration of technology for court processes, the clerk of the court, and various court support services. Programs and Services under the direction of Court Administration include: Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Family Mediation Center (FMC), Family Violence Center, Jury Services, the Court Interpreter's Program, Clerk of the Court, Arbitration, Discovery, Probate and the Grand Jury. Other responsibilities of Court Administration include assessing and improving court case management through automation and collaboration with other relief agencies.  Information and statistics are provided to the legislature, local, state, and federal governments, plus citizen and professional groups. 

The Court Executive Officer represents the court on committees, councils, and national boards as appropriate. In 2005, the Court Administrations of the Eighth Judicial District Court and the Las Vegas Township Justice Court agreed to consolidate operations to improve customer service, reduce costs, eliminate duplications and further efficiencies.
