As your Clerk of Court, I believe in accessibility and transparency for all. Accessibility is not just a legal requirement; it is a fundamental right. I am committed to removing barriers and ensuring that our court system is transparent, welcoming, and easy to navigate for every citizen of Rock County.

My Commitment to Accessibility:

• Modernizing Our Courtrooms: To ensure full ADA compliance and equitable participation, I have overseen the installation of assistive listening devices in all courtrooms. Every individual deserves to hear and be heard during legal proceedings without barriers.

• Simplified Legal Resources: Navigating the law is difficult enough. We are actively improving the accessibility of our forms, ensuring they are easy to locate, simple to understand, and available in multiple formats to meet the needs of all users.

• Support for Our Jurors: Serving on a jury is a cornerstone of democracy. We prioritize ADA and personalized accommodations for our jurors, ensuring that their service is comfortable, safe, and supported from the moment they receive their summons to the conclusion of their service.

• A Digital-First Approach: We are completely revamping our website to serve as a user-friendly resource hub. My goal is to move beyond a static page and create an informative, helpful platform where you can find answers, track information, and access services 24/7.

Transparency as a Priority:

Transparency builds trust. I believe the Clerk’s office should be an "open book" for the community. By modernizing our digital infrastructure and opening lines of communication through outreach and surveys, I am ensuring that the work of the court is visible to those it serves.

The courts belong to you, the people. I will continue to advocate for the technology and policies that ensure everyone, regardless of ability or background, can navigate our justice system with dignity.
