The Court Administrator’s Office also provides administrative support for the Alternative Dispute Resolution Trust Fund and the Law Library Trust Fund Boards.
Courthouse tours, use of courtrooms for mock trial competitions, and courtroom observations for visiting dignitaries are scheduled and coordinated through the Office of Court Administration.
