Do you know what the District Clerk does? Loren Jackson, District Clerk for Harris County, enlightened us on this issue. There are almost 100 courts that operate within Harris County....and it is up to the District Clerk's office to make sure that the public knows what happens in these courts. Not only are they in charge of Jury Duty summons, but a District Clerk must be present at each Civil, Criminal, Family and Child Support case in order for it to proceed. Trial notes and decisions must be recorded and made available to the public in order to make our justice system work. We all left class with a better appreciation for the people working in the office of District Clerk. More Info - Click Here
