The Jefferson County Office of the Circuit Court Clerk (OCCC) serves as the custodian of all court records of District, Circuit and Family courts, as well as the repository of fees, fines and court costs in the county.
The staff is comprised of 293 Deputy Clerks who carry out the daily responsibilities of our office. Deputy Clerks are sworn officers of the court and most work in three major court divisions: Circuit Court, Family Court and District Court.
The Jefferson County OCCC serves the largest jurisdiction (40 elected trial court judges) in Kentucky’s unified court system and its only true urban court system, operating 24 x 7 x 365. Court operations are conducted at two facilities in downtown Louisville: the Louis D. Brandeis Hall of Justice, 600 W. Jefferson St., and the Jefferson County Judicial Center, 700 W. Jefferson St. Deputy Clerks also work in Archives & Records in the Old Jefferson County Jail Building, 514 W. Liberty St.
