Clerks of the Circuit Court are active community leaders, volunteers and members of numerous civic organizations across multiple counties and cities in our Commonwealth.  In recent years, Clerks of Circuit Court have implemented cost-effective and efficient technology improvements which lead to better service.  Some examples of these technologies include secure remote access to public information, E-recording, and digitizing of public court records.   As public servants, Clerks of the Circuit Court have been mindful of the welfare of our citizens as they have implemented redaction programs to remove confidential and private information from public records as permitted by state law, and they have worked with the Virginia legislators to pursue programs to protect private information of citizens.
