A municipal court clerk is a public servant.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during certain hours
• D. Depends on the size of the court

Answer: (A)

Public service status is the idea being tested here. A municipal court clerk is a public servant because they are employed by a government entity and carry out official duties that serve the public. Their role involves handling court records, filing documents, scheduling hearings, managing fines and fees, and ensuring the court operates lawfully and transparently. All of this places them within the public sector and under the oversight and ethical standards that govern public employees. The question’s other options—that this status depends on hours worked or on the size of the court—don’t apply, since the essence is the nature of their employment and duties, not how many hours they work or the court’s size.
