What type of information can Court Officers (COs) provide?

Court Officers (COs) are primarily responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the security of the court environment. They can provide general legal information to help individuals understand the basic processes and procedures within the court system. This can include information about court schedules, filing procedures, and the roles of various court personnel.

Providing legal advice is outside their purview, as such advice requires specialized legal training and licensure that COs do not possess. Confidentiality agreements are typically handled by legal professionals and are not within the scope of what COs manage. Similarly, investment advice related to legal proceedings is a specialized area that falls under financial or legal expert domains and not a responsibility or competency of court officers. Thus, the nature of the information COs can provide is limited to general legal information that helps individuals navigate court processes without giving personalized legal counsel.
