A law clerk or a judicial clerk is a person who provides assistance to a judge or a licensed attorney in researching issues before the court and in writing opinions.

OBS

Unlike the court clerk and the courtroom deputy, both of whom are administrative staff for the court, a law clerk assists the judge in making legal determinations.

OBS

The staff in a judge’s office, or chambers, are the judge’s law clerks and the judicial assistant (or judicial secretary). These individuals assist with as many administrative and legal tasks as possible, leaving the judge more time for the aspects of judging that no one else can do.
