Court secretary
The court secretary is an employee of a court who participates in every court hearing and performs certain functions: provides information on certain technical aspects of the case (who is present and who is not present at the hearing, what justifications persons that are not present at the hearing have provided to justify their absence), writes minutes of hearings, etc. Court secretaries usually know all the procedure perfectly, thus in case you need some clarifications on the issues you are facing, court secretary is the one who could really help you.
