FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF JUDGES AND CLERKS (§ 16.1-69.40:3)

The judge of each district court shall have management responsibility over the
collection and distribution of all funds received by such court; provided,
however, that no judge or clerk shall incur personal liability for a shortage in
such funds unless such shortage is a result of his negligence, failure to
exercise appropriate supervision or intentional misconduct.
