The clerk at the superior court needs to maintain organized lists (indexes) to quickly find any court cases.

The court clerk is responsible for sending out all official court documents and notifications that need to be distributed.

The clerk of the superior court must keep detailed records of the court's decisions, including orders, judgments, and decrees, and note the date of each entry.

This section says that in certain counties where court rules require the clerk to file individual minute orders sequentially in the court's records, clerks don't need to keep a separate 'minute book' if records are also being copied onto microfilm before destruction. However, clerks still must keep minutes and maintain a judgment book to log judgments and decrees.

The first book lists, alphabetically, the names of individuals who have declared their intention to become U.S. citizens, along with the date they made this declaration.

Alongside each name in the second book, details about their previous nationality, the date of admission, and the page number of the official court record admitting them as citizens are noted.

The clerk of the superior court is allowed to use a facsimile, or electronic copy, of their signature on official court documents as long as an authorized deputy adds their initials to certify it.
