Procedural assistance is provided to individuals that are filing without an attorney. For those individuals who wish, the pro se law clerk can be contacted via phone or email.
The Innovation Club is comprised of Clerk’s office staff, chambers staff, supervisors and members of the management team. The club’s objective is to develop ideas through the process of shared creative thinking that improve the way the Clerk's office meets it mission. Since 2013 the club has distributed the calls court wide, expanded captivate, had input into space reduction, gave supervisors feedback regarding Intake, Case Manager CM/ECF training and created the Dictionary streamline committee.
