Created in 1939, the
Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) serves the
federal Judiciary in carrying out its constitutional mission to provide
equal justice under law.
The AO is the
central support entity for the Judicial Branch. It provides a wide range
of administrative, legal, financial, management, program, and
information technology services to the federal courts. The AO provides
support and staff counsel to the Judicial Conference of the United
States and its committees, and implements and executes Judicial
Conference policies, as well as applicable federal statutes and
regulations. The AO facilitates communications within the Judiciary and
with Congress, the Executive Branch, and the public on behalf of the
Judiciary.
The agency is a unique entity
in government. Neither the Executive Branch nor the Legislative Branch
has any one comparable organization that provides the broad range of
services and functions that the Administrative Office does for the
Judicial Branch. The agency's lawyers, public administrators,
accountants, systems engineers, analysts, architects, statisticians, and
other staff provide a long list of professional services to meet the
needs of judges and the more than 32,000 Judiciary employees working in
more than 800 locations nationwide.
Judge
John D. Bates, director of the Administrative Office since July 1,
2013, is the chief administrative officer for the federal courts and
secretary to the Judicial Conference of the United States.
