CIRCUIT COURT – POSITION CREATIONS AND POSITION RECLASSIFICATION The Circuit Court is seeking authorization to create and reclassify staff positions. The department reorganization is necessary in the Family Division due to changes in the court rules . The changes consist of increased attorney fees for specific hearings when requ ested and for adoptions, along with other miscellaneous changes. A new statute regarding c ompetency for juveniles has added a burden on the department. An increased number of Personal Protection Orders has led to the request for a visiting judge to help handle the caseload. Additionally a full-time and part-time clerk have been requested for the visiting judge, as well as a new order clerk . The clerks type up all of the juvenile orders. The position reclassification will add a chief position of the psychological clinic in the Family Division. Prior to the budget cuts, the division staff had six to seven doctors and a chief. The chief was cut and is now being added back in to fill the supervisory role. Mr. Bilson briefly described the Probate Court and Circuit Court and provided an example of how sometimes court cases may overlap.
