I really enjoyed my time working with the Court System. The clerk’s office was such a great place to work for and I felt that I was provided opportunities to learn and grow. The job felt balanced and structured and I felt I was given all the tools needed to succeed in the position. I really appreciated my managers/supervisors for always being there to guide and answer any questions I had.
What I liked most about my job was the interaction with the public and the court. I always felt honored to represent the Judiciary as the clerk’s office is the main face of the Judiciary. I took pride in assisting them to the best of my ability, going out of the way, when necessary to accomplish this. I also enjoyed the great working relationships that I was able to establish with our justice partners (i.e. State’s Attorney, Probation, Correctional Center, Sheriff), those relationships will be greatly missed. Lastly, I enjoyed being able to travel to several clerks’ offices assisting in training sessions or office reviews.
I have enjoyed my career with the court system and appreciate the coworkers and friends that I have made over the years and the knowledge and experience I gained. I would actually like to say "thank you" for affording me the opportunity to have worked with the court for 23 years.
I enjoyed the work, the people I worked with and developed a new understanding of the court system itself. Thank you for the opportunity to work with the youth of our community.
My favorite things about working for the Court System were the people I got to meet and the knowledge I obtained over the years.
I loved the stability, friendliness and the bosses and coworkers I have had. I enjoyed traveling and seeing other counties and meeting the staff there.
I liked the job itself - going into court, working in Odyssey, solving problems, working with my peers, working with the judges and our justice partners. The job is nuanced, stimulating and always changing. It's the task at hand that keeps me motivated.
I would describe this as my “dream job”. I’ve loved every minute of working here. I’ve enjoyed the people and the camaraderie. A place and people I will truly miss.
I loved working with the clerks. I also liked my coworkers a lot. I've enjoyed helping people resolve problems they are having and creating bits of information that makes their life easier.
Each and every day I loved coming to work and took great pride in the services we provided, there really wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
What I liked most about my job was the ability to work with so many people on any given day, including administration, staff, the clerk's office, my fellow reporters and recorders and the judges. I liked that it wasn't the same thing every day.
I loved the variety of work, the knowledge I have obtained, working in the courtrooms, just enjoyed the overall aspect of working for the Court System.
I enjoyed my work, in large part, because of the diversity of the caseload. While that diversity can be challenging at times, that diversity of the caseload ensured that my work day would never be repetitious.
