Lake County Clerk of Courts
"Keeper of the Records"
The Clerk of Courts office, as the "core of the court", plays a vital role in serving the interests of justice. This includes filing, docketing, indexing and preserving all court pleadings for civil, felony criminal and domestic relations cases. The Clerk of Courts must also follow procedure required by law and issue writs to carry out Court orders including summons, subpoenas, warrants to arrest and to convey to penal institutions.
In addition to processing all Court paperwork, the Clerk of Courts must preserve the records for use by future generations. A computer system has been in use since 1990 to record the index and docket of court cases allowing faster access to the information.
The Clerk's office is located in the lower level of the Courthouse Annex. The location has space for public research.
