DRESS CODE

The nature of our work dictates that we have a professional operation and one of the ways we do this is through establishing a dress code.  Since the majority of our employees are deputy clerks (you act in the stead of our Clerk), we must dress in an appropriate manner for any situation going to court, attending meetings, etc.

Our dress code is not designed to dictate your personal style but rather to insure that we wear what is normal, business attire.  The following clothing items are considered inappropriate and must not be worn in this office:

• Jeans (long, short, overalls)

• Tee Shorts

• Crop tops/tank tops

• Sheer (see thru) clothing such as nylon blouses

• Jogging suits/sweat pants

• Tennis shoes (no matter who the designer is)

• Thong sandals

• Shorts (O.K. if they are like the city shorts suits)

• Stretch pants, stirrup pants or leggings  

• Nose, tongue rings

When performing duties where you are standing and/or walking for a long time, please consider the type of shoe you are wearing.  Wear comfortable and safe shoes that are appropriate for the job. 

The basic idea is if you think it’s not appropriate or you have some doubt don’t wear it.

In general, women should wear dresses, skirts, blouses and suits that are appropriate for the office.  Sundresses should not be worn without a jacket.  Turtleneck sweaters are acceptable and crew neck sweaters are acceptable if worn with a  jacket (this applies to men and women).  Shirts with banded collars are acceptable without a jacket.  Employees may wear polo shirts with Clerk of Superior Court Logo everyday and they should be worn with the appropriate slacks (i.e., khakis or other suitable casual pants). 

We must continue to dress professionally for any situation (going to court, attending meetings, performing regular job duties, etc.).
