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.

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.
