The Clerk of Superior Court was established in the Constitution of the State of Georgia. The Clerk is one of four constitutional officers who can be found in each of the 159 counties in the state; the other constitutional officers are the sheriff, the tax commissioner and the probate judge. The Clerk's duties are statutory in nature and are found in the Official Code of Georgia in literally hundreds of statutes created by the state legislature. In addition, the Clerk has an obligation to follow the court rules for each court they may serve. The Clerk is found to be one of the most popular elected officials in each county, providing personal service directly to the public on a daily basis through direct contact with the clerk or through contact with his or her deputy clerks.
