LENAWEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN CLERK OF COURT OFFICE

District Court, established by the Legislature in 1968, became a court of record in 1973 and testimony is recorded electronically by a Court Recorder. All appeals from the District Court decisions are made to Circuit Court and are considered upon the typewritten verbatim District Court transcripts or settles record; rather than by a new trial in Circuit Court.

The district court has a clerk of court. The clerk of court is the official record keeper for the court. As Clerk of the Court, the clerk opens, maintains, tracks and stores the records for all cases filed in the Circuit Court, the Judicial Court, County Probate and Family Courts. Duties include providing for the safety, security, and maintenance of all official court records; collecting and filing, copy, and judicial costs/fees/assessments; and having deputy clerks attend hearings and trials to support the Court in fulfilling its judicial responsibilities.
