Rule 45 (Clerks)

Rule 45 (Clerks) governs how clerks assist courts and parties in legal proceedings. It states that clerks are responsible for issuing and signing process documents (like subpoenas), maintaining case files, and performing administrative tasks related to cases. Clerks do not make legal decisions or interpret laws; instead, they ensure procedural efficiency and accuracy. Their role is to support the court and ensure that filings and processes are handled properly, allowing the judicial process to run smoothly and fairly.
