Who directs the administrative office of the courts?
Each state employs a central single manager who directs the AOC. This position is known by many names, including state court administrator, director of administration, and chief administrator. The administrator is usually directly responsible to the chief justice of the supreme court, who is responsible for the administration of all the courts within a state. The state court administrator may choose the staff directly, or the supreme court or judicial council may appoint them within a state.
