In 2022, the first group of participants completed the three “MCAA 101” courses. The program is among the newest offerings of the Municipal Court Administrators Association of SC, and was developed by Pam Larson, clerk of court for the City of Greenville and Kirsten Pressley, municipal court administrator for the City of Greer.
The courses are designed to provide the staff of municipal courts with the skills critical to their profession. It comes in the form of three sessions all taking place in Columbia throughout the year, with no requirement to attend all three. Session A covers charges, bonds and court basics; Session B covers dispositions, records retention, alternative sentence and reporting; and Session C covers court financials.
