REVIEW OF THE CLERICAL SYSTEM OF THE COURT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PERSONNEL, RECORDING EQUIPMENT AND FILING PROCEDURES.
Abstract
THIS REPORT, DATED AUGUST 1974, RESULTED FROM A CONSULTANT'S SITE VISIT AND INTERVIEWS WITH EMPLOYEES TO IDENTIFY THEIR FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE CONSULTANT CONCLUDED THAT THE CLERK'S OFFICE COULD BENEFIT FROM A DECREASE IN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE SPECIALIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF DUTIES BY GENERAL FUNCTION RATHER THAN SECTION OF COURT ACTIVITY. IT IS FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT IMPROVEMENT IN SPACE AND EFFICIENT FILE RETRIEVAL COULD BE OBTAINED BY PURCHASING AN AUTOMATED ROTARY FILE AND HAVING SOME MICROFILMING DONE. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
