A deputy court clerk is a public servant.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if full-time
• D. Not defined

Answer: (A)

Public servants are people who work for government entities to carry out official functions for the public. A deputy court clerk fits this description because they are employed by a city or county to support the court, performing official duties such as recording proceedings, filing documents, managing dockets, and assisting judges. Their work is funded by public funds and they operate within the courtroom under public authority, so they are considered public servants regardless of whether they work full-time or part-time. Therefore, the statement is true. The other options aren’t correct because the status isn’t limited to full-time employees, and it isn’t undefined.
