Julie J. Armstrong was first elected in 1992 to the office of Charleston County Clerk of Court. The S.C. Constitution provides that the Clerk of Court is a constitutional officer elected for a term of four years. By statute, Armstrong has charge of the courthouse but her authority was extended to the entire Judicial Complex by Charleston County Council. As the Clerk of Court, Armstrong is the record keeper for Common Pleas, General Sessions and Family Courts while being charged with docket management and fiduciary responsibilities. In 2017, the Chief Justice increased Armstrong's responsibilities by giving her authority over the criminal docket which historically had been administered by the county solicitor. She oversees a staff of 82 employees who docket over 35,000 cases and collects and processes approximately $36 million annually in county and state revenue and court ordered support. Prior to being elected as the Clerk of Court, Armstrong worked for the Ninth Circuit Solicitor's Office in the capacity of Office Administrator. Along with her years working for the Solicitor, she has served the citizens of Charleston County for over 30 years. Armstrong was raised in a strong military family and proudly claims deep roots in the Charleston community.
