First Female Clerk Of the Circuit Court Sworn-In In Harford County

HARFORD COUNTY - Michelle Karczeski was inaugurated as Harford County's first female clerk of the circuit court on Thursday.

Karczeski is a lifelong Harford County resident and has worked with clerks of circuit courts across the state over the last several years. During her tenure as a senior financial systems project manager with the Maryland Judiciary, she helped implement a jury management system that improved business processes for the court and the public in Cecil County.

County Executive-elect Bob Cassily, County Council President Patrick Vincenti, and Bel Air Mayor Kevin Bianca were all present for the historic inauguration.

Circuit Court Judge Yolanda Curtin performed the swearing-in with a Bible held by Karczeski's parents.

Karczeski then addressed the crowd, thanking Harford County and stating her plans to make the courthouse more accessible for residents.

"I pledge to do my best," she said.
