<P>

<P>There is no general term for courtroom officer, only specific titles for officials with specific responsiblities.

<P>In the British and US court systems, the <STRONG>judge</STRONG> is the chief courtroom officer. There are several other specific courtroom officers: the <STRONG>court recorder or reporter</STRONG>, the <STRONG>court registrar</STRONG>, and the <STRONG>clerk of the court (bench clerk)</STRONG>. In some jurisdictions, the <STRONG>sheriff or marshal</STRONG> is a court officer. Police officers assigned to maintain order and security in a courtroom are usually called <STRONG>bailiffs</STRONG>.

<P>Technically, anyone providing a service to a court session is a designated court officer with legal responsibility to uphold the law to the best of their ability. This includes prosecutors, attorneys, witnesses, bail bondspersons, translators and jury members.

<P>The only persons in a courtroom who are not technically courtroom officers are defendants, plaintiffs, and the audience.</P>
