In the United States federal court system, the Supreme Court and each District Court, Court of Appeals, and Bankruptcy Court has its own Clerk, appointed by the judges of the court. The Clerk is the custodian of the court's records and also has responsibility for collecting fees and other deposits of money made with the court. No judgment of a U.S. court is effective until it is signed by the clerk and entered on the clerk's records. The court clerk is not to be confused with a law clerk, as the former is essentially a secretary for the court, while the latter is an attorney who assists the judge in making legal determinations. And in the courts within the City of New York, the Court Clerk is the highest ranking, non-judicial person in the courtroom. The Court Clerk is the supervisor of the Court Officers in the Courtroom.
