What is the mission of OCA?

• A. To oversee juries.
• B. To prosecute cases for the state.
• C. To provide administrative assistance and technical support to all of the courts in the State.
• D. To draft legislation for the judiciary.

Answer: (C)

The mission of the Office of Court Administration is to act as the administrative arm of the judiciary, providing administrative assistance and technical support to all the courts in the State. This involves managing court technology and information systems, case management, records, budgeting and facilities, and staff training, so judges and court staff can run operations smoothly and consistently. Other functions like prosecuting cases or drafting legislation fall outside this administrative role, and jury oversight is handled as part of the court system’s operations but not the primary mission of OCA.
