Do municipal court clerks may administer an oath pertaining to any matter in municipal court?

• A. False
• B. Only during emergencies.
• C. Only with the judge's explicit permission.
• D. True

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that clerks of the court are authorized to administer oaths as part of their official duties in municipal court. They serve as designated officers to oversee sworn statements and attest to the truth of statements made in filings, affidavits, petitions, and testimony within the court’s proceedings. Because this authority comes from statute or court rule and is exercised to support the court’s operations, it isn’t restricted to emergencies and doesn’t require express judge approval every time. So a municipal court clerk may administer an oath pertaining to any matter that falls under municipal court proceedings, making this statement true.
