STATEMENT OF DUTIES

General Statement Of Duties:
Directs and provides for the administration of all aspects of a judicial district.

Distinguishing Factors:
This Court Executive classification series (I-IV) is distinguished from other classifications by providing administration for a judicial district. Supervision is received from the Chief Judge. The Court Executive is a classified, non-certified position that is considered at-will and may be terminated at any time with or without cause.

The criterion to determine the Court Executive classification level is based on the FTE of Judicial Officers within the district per Court Services verification and the number of counties within the district. The weighting for the score is 25% for counties and 75% for Judicial Officer FTE.

The point factor and level salary information is as follows:
Counties: 25% of total score (points x 1 factor)
1 to 2 = 1 point;
3 to 4 = 2 points;
5 to 6 = 3 points;
7 or more = 4 points
Judicial Officer FTE: 75% of total score (points x 3 factor)
1 to 8 = 1 point;
9 to 16 = 2 points;
17 to 24 = 3 points;
25 or more = 4 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive I- 0-5 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive II- 6-9 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive III- 10-12 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive IV- 13 points

An upgrade in classification level will occur if the points calculated based on the two factors increases to the next level. Should the district's points fall below the current incumbent's classification level, the classification will remain frozen until the position is vacated, or the points meet the qualifications of the current classification. Court Executives who administer more than one district shall have points for each district added together to determine the level of classification.
