     525.09 Court administrators; appointment; powers.  

    The judge may appoint a court administrator, deputy court 
 administrators, and employees as provided by law, to hold office 
 during the judge's pleasure, who shall perform the duties 
 imposed by law and such judge.  Such appointments shall be in 
 writing and filed in such court.  Before entering upon the 
 duties of office, each court administrator and such deputy court 
 administrators and employees designated by the court shall 
 execute a bond to the state in the amount of $1,000 approved by 
 the county board and conditioned upon the faithful discharge of 
 duties.  Such bond with the oath of the appointee shall be 
 recorded in the office of the county recorder.  The premiums on 
 such bonds and the expenses of such recording and filing shall 
 be paid by the county.  An action may be maintained on such bond 
 by any person aggrieved by the violation of the conditions 
 thereof.  A court administrator or deputy court administrator 
 may take acknowledgments, administer oaths, authenticate, 
 exemplify, or certify copies of instruments, documents, or 
 records of the court, and when so ordered may hear and report to 
 the court the testimony of any witnesses and the interrogatories 
 and objections of counsel.
