What does a case administrator do?

A case administrator provides independent initiatives and a wide range of technical and administrative assistance in order to accomplish the duties and responsibilities of a state bar court manager and a judge. Your day-to-day duties typically include overseeing case management by assisting with issues on case flow management, responding to inquiries from law enforcement, attorneys, and the general public about completed and pending court cases, and administering audio record proceedings. As the case administrator, you will also assist in developing and implementing new programs and procedures to improve court operations.

What does an office manager do?

Office managers oversee the entire workplace. They maintain office processes and services to ensure that everything is running well. They manage office supplies by managing inventory and procurement procedures. They also device filing systems, create needed and relevant office policies, and ensure that all the policies are being followed. As a way to make sure that the office is in top shape, office managers supervise most of the logistical aspects inside the office. They also provide support to both management teams and the rest of the employees. They often act as the bridge between the two and would sometimes even assist in the training of new employees.
