The circuit court clerks prepare bonds and approve sureties thereon; administer oaths and affidavits; maintain records, files and dockets; collect fees, fines and bond money; and pay jurors, commissioners and witnesses. They also issue driver licenses, summons jurors and operate tape recording equipment.

Kentucky District Court
The district court has limited jurisdiction, which means it hears only certain types of cases. Ninety percent of all Kentuckians involved in court proceedings appear in district court. For example, juvenile matters, city and county ordinances, misdemeanors, traffic offenses, probate of wills, felony preliminary hearings, and civil cases involving $4,000 or less are heard in district court. There are 116 district judges in 60 judicial districts in Kentucky.
Kentucky League of Cities
The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) is a voluntary association of cities created in 1927 to assist municipal officials in representing the interests of cities and to provide services to members which will foster improved municipal government in Kentucky. The league provides a comprehensive service program to members which assists city officials in carrying out the important and challenging task of local governance.
