Clerk of Superior Court 

The clerk of court, one of Emanuel County's four constitutional officers, is served by Kristin Hall. Her office serves the following courts: superior, state, and juvenile. As clerk, Kristin is considered the official recordkeeper of the county; she maintains criminal and civil court filings and is the custodian of land and property records.

One of the most important functions of the clerk of court's office is summoning and handling jury matters. Jury information such as service terms, exemption applications, directions to the Emanuel County Courthouse, and more are provided, courtesy of the clerk's office, to improve the efficiency of this civic duty process.

Kristin and her team also prepare weekly court schedules to ensure the smooth operation of the judicial process within the Emanuel County portion of the Middle Judicial Circuit. One of the most common services the clerk's office provides is accepting traffic citation payments in lieu of attending state court for tickets issued by the county sheriff's office, the state patrol, and the Georgia's Motor Carrier Compliance Division.

In addition to maintaining court and land records, the clerk's office collects and distributes intangible taxes and transfer taxes for real estate transactions, assists with family violence matters, issues notary public commissions, accepts filings for trade name registrations, serves as administrator of the board of equalization, and accepts and processes passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.
