Let’s Get Started!

If you’re brand new to municipal court, start here. This page is designed to walk you through the first things you need to do—not everything at once, but in the right order.

As you open and read each post below, simply hit the back button to return to this page.


*New Clerk Onboarding*

Start with your initial onboarding tasks. These steps make sure you are properly established and connected within the court system.


*Set Up Your Clerk Binder*

Before you get pulled in different directions, build a binder you can rely on. This will become your working reference while you learn your court.


*An Introduction to the MS Municipal Court Clerks Association*

*Training Opportunities*

Training and conferences are where you’ll learn how other courts operate and get real answers to day-to-day questions.



As you get more comfortable in your role, take some time to explore the rest of the site at your own pace. You’ll find lessons, resources, and training articles designed to support you as you continue learning.

If you need something you don’t see here or have a question, feel free to reach out—I’m always glad to help. You can contact me at theclerksdesk@gmail.com.
