Question

What is a Supreme Court clerk, and what are the qualifications of a clerk?

Answer 1

Answer:

responsible for overseeing filings with the Court and maintaining its records. The current Clerk is Scott S. Harris

Explanation:

The Clerk of the Supreme Court is a court clerk. The role of the clerk and deputies or assistants should not be confused with the Court's law clerks, who assist the Justices by conducting research, making recommendations on which cases to hear, and preparing drafts of opinions.

The Clerk's Office is responsible for maintaining the dockets and records of the Court. However, since approximately 1960, most of the Court's non-current case files and other records have been placed in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration.
