Jill Acklin named new courts administrator

Hamilton County has a new court administrator following the retirement of Ollie Schierholz last month. He had been administrator for nearly 15 years.

Jill Acklin, former resident of Clark County, Ind., took over immediately upon Schierholz’s retirement. The administrator is hired by county judges.

The $97,000 per year job involves maintaining court schedules, preparing juries for service and other duties as may be assigned by the seven local courts.

Schierholz’s retirement last month was not announced publicly at the retiree’s request, nor was the new appointment announced by the county public relations officer.
