The juvenile court administrator directs the local juvenile court probation program and provides general administrative support to the juvenile division of superior court. Each of the state's 33 juvenile courts is unique in the range and diversity of programs and services it offers, though all offer some type of diagnostic and diversion services. A number of juvenile court administrators direct county-level detention programs. Generally appointed by judges of the superior court, in several counties judges have transferred this responsibility to the county legislative authority. Stenographic notes are taken in court by a court reporter as the record of the proceeding.
Some court reporters assume additional duties as secretary to one or more judges.
