High Clerks of Court And Their Position And Role in Justice

Summary/Abstract: The capacity of high clerks of court has become a new phenomenon in the Czech justice. The high clerk of court was given wide scale of competence dírectly by the law and is supposed, in particular, to administer justice in less important fields of court activity. Under the High Clerks of Court Act, his activity consists both in the issuing of decisions and in carrying out some acts of non-decisive character. The introduction of this capacity frees judges from dealing with non-substantial, less important questions in court proceedings and gives them enough space for really creative application of law in factually and legally complicated and important issues. The High Clerks of Court Act No. 189/94 Coll. forms a legislative base for the gradual forming of an efficient system of these prafessional clerks and for the accomplishment of the goal described above.
