The Office of the Clerk

The receiving seat of the Combined Courts — where causes are entered upon the register, Court Record Numbers are issued in the form prescribed by the Rules of Court, and every filing is kept in honest and transparent record.

Jurisdiction of the EECC — Concerning Causes That Touch Non-Citizens

The authority of the Ecumenical and Ecclesiastical Combined Courts rests not upon the recognition of any secular tribunal, but upon the everlasting Covenant of God with David — a Court of Equity, Justice, and Record, established under the Crown and subordinate to God alone. As a Benevolent Come-Along-Side Government, the Kingdom of David does not command or override the lawful courts of the nations; it honors lawful authority and comes alongside the peoples of the earth in peace.

The Ecumenical and Ecclesiastical Combined Courts may lawfully receive and adjudicate causes touching non-Citizens upon any of these established grounds: a Kingdom Instrument (citizenship or charter); the party’s consent or submission to the Court; comity; treaty; or a subject-matter falling within a Kingdom instrument. The King’s Court for Royal Prerogatives, together with its Court of International Claims, is the proper seat for such matters, while purely domestic causes remain with the other courts.

That the record may remain honest and transparent to all, the Office of the Clerk requires every case to be marked by party type — Citizen, Non-Citizen, Foreign State, Entity, or Mixed — and by its jurisdictional basis, so that the ground of the Court’s authority is recorded upon the face of each file.

The Office of the Clerk of the EECC

The Office of the Clerk receives and files court documents and issues Court Record Numbers in the very form prescribed by the Rules of Court — [COURT]-[YEAR]-[SEQUENCE], as in CKC-2026-001 — sequenced per court and per year, so that no two causes ever bear the same number. Six registers are maintained: KRP (Royal Prerogatives, with International Claims), CKC (King’s Conscience), COR (Records & Registries), CPW (Petitions & Writs), KCP (Probate), and RCP (Patents & Copyrights, with the Court of Patents).

The Clerk may register a wholly new cause or bring a case presently on file onto the register, issuing its Court Record Number in either case. Into each case the Clerk enters filings — petitions, affidavits, writs, orders, judgments, briefs, correspondence, and exhibits. The docket may be searched and filtered by court, status, and party, and each cause carries its caption, parties, presiding officer, jurisdictional basis, and status: Filed, Open, Under Review, Adjudicated, Closed, or Sealed.
