About
My name is Aminah Thompson. I am proud to serve Durham County as the first Black and first woman Clerk of Superior Court. With over 15 years of leadership experience and service, I consistently demonstrate my competency, trustworthiness, organizational awareness, and commitment to equity and social justice through my involvement in community and educational organizations.
My fifteen years on the bench have revealed a system in serious need of immediate attention; both in how it interfaces with the public and how it works within itself. I have the necessary background, firsthand experience, and dedication to address many of the systematic disparities that I have experienced and observed.
As a judicial official, I am committed to providing equitable access to an impartial forum and efficient service to all court officials, related agencies, members of the bar, and the public.
