Friends,

I hope this email finds everyone doing well and staying safe. My focus this month is to provide updates from the Clerk's Office including the Clerk's first annual report and introducing the office's spring semester interns.

I have also included the latest photos from the Augusta County Courthouse virtual photograph tour.

Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk Issues First Annual Report

Earlier this month, I issued the first annual Circuit Court Clerk’s Report for activities accomplished by the Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office in 2020. In addition, to sharing this report with the public, the report has been provided to members of the Augusta County Board of Supervisors, Augusta County representatives in the Virginia General Assembly, and Circuit Court Judges conducting Court in Augusta County.

The report highlights the activities and accomplishments for the Circuit Court Clerk’s Office, including the Augusta County Court House: Historic Records Short & Long Range Plan; the Clerk’s Internship Program; the formation of the Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk’s Advisory Committee, and details the number of improvements in the technology utilized by the Clerk’s Staff to provide better and more effective service to the citizens of Augusta County.

Virtual Photograph Tour

This is week thirty-six of our Augusta County Court House virtual photograph tour. This is the vestibule outside the Judges' Chambers on the second floor of the courthouse. The door on the left is the entrance to an office that once was the Clerk's Office. This is week thirty-six of our Augusta County Court House virtual photograph tour.
