The office is committed to public service. Computers are used in every area and have contributed to the efficiency of the office. Over 5,000 civil cases, 10,000 criminal warrants, 5,000 domestic cases and juvenile cases are filed each year. Court is held 46 weeks a year.  

Jeanette McBride is the Richland County Clerk of Court.
 

Richland County Judicial Center is closed until September 28, 2020.  All virtual hearings will continue via web-based software as regularly scheduled throughout the week.  Only live hearings and appearances have been canceled.  Many clerk of court employees, including civil, criminal and family court employees, will be working from home so the disruption in services will be a minimum.  E-filing will continue as usual.
