The CEA is a professionally-trained court administrator, and a Fellow of the Institute for Court Management of the US National Centre for State Courts. Each division head in the department is a qualified and experienced professional in his or her area of court administration. Both the CEA and the Registrar are attorneys-at-law with extensive experience in judicial environments. Working in this organisational structure allows for a partnership approach, thereby permitting facilitating management and assisting the Court to uphold its mission and achieve its vision. |
