Keara Weber, Hancock County Circuit Clerk, has earned the Certified Court Manager (CCM) credential from the Institute for Court Management through the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), a nationally recognized distinction for court professionals demonstrating excellence in court administration and leadership.
The Certified Court Manager credential is awarded after completion of a rigorous, multi-year educational program through the Institute for Court Management, focusing on the core competencies essential to effective court operations. Coursework includes caseflow and workflow management, budget and fiscal oversight, human resources and workforce development, project management, performance measurement, and the fundamental purposes and responsibilities of courts.
As Hancock County Circuit Clerk, Weber oversees court records, financial operations, jury administration, and public access to the court system. Earning the CCM credential enhances her ability to lead the Clerk’s Office with data-driven decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and strategic planning grounded in nationally recognized best practices.
“This training directly supports the work we do every day in Hancock County,” Weber said. “It strengthens how we manage caseflow, steward public funds, support judges and court staff, and ensure the public experiences a court system that is efficient, fair, and accessible.”
The CCM program emphasizes accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement—principles that align closely with the evolving demands of modern courts. Weber’s completion of the program equips her to implement long-term improvements, manage complex projects, and respond effectively to increasing caseloads, limited resources, and changing legal requirements.
The National Center for State Courts is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice through leadership, research, education, and technical assistance. The CCM credential is widely regarded as the gold standard for court management professionals nationwide.
Weber’s achievement reflects her ongoing commitment to professional development and to serving the citizens of Hancock County with integrity, efficiency, and excellence.
