The office of the Court
Administrator expedites the administrative functions of the court under the
direction of the President Judge. The office of the Court Administrator acts as
the managerial arm of the court, and by doing so, increases the time that the
Judges can spend in adjudication.
The office of the Court Administrator is primarily accountable for the
direction of the day-to-day operations of the court. The basic functions include case flow
management, personnel management, jury management, preparation and management
of the annual Court budget, information management, space management, providing
supplies for Court operations, management of the Magisterial District Justices,
community relations, and public information.
Another major responsibility of the Court
Administrator is the management of the court’s calendar. This involves
scheduling and coordinating all hearings, arguments, jury trials, non-jury trials,
master hearings, arbitrations, preliminary injunctions, protection from abuse,
divorce matters, and orphans court matters. The Court Administrator also
receives and monitors civil and criminal motions, petitions, stipulations, and
continuance applications.
The Court Administrator
oversees the following departments, the Judges Chambers’, Adult
Probation, Juvenile Probation, Domestic Relations and the Court Computer
Information Systems office.
A close
working, cooperative relationship exists between the Court Administrator and
the Court-related offices which are Children and Youth, Prothonotary’s
office, Register of Wills and the Clerk of Courts/Bureau of Collections.
