The Office of the Court Administrator provides administrative oversight and services to both the superior court and the six justice courts in Cochise County. This office also serves as the liaison between the judicial branch and the executive and legislative branches locally and on a state level. Programs and services provided by the Court Administrator's office include the Family Conciliation Court, Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs; Judicial Fines Enforcement Programs (collections); Court Security; Case Management Services; AZTEC Field Trainer Program; Personnel and Financial Management for Cochise County Judicial System; Office of Interpreting; and general court operations.
