Funcionario judicial / de tribunal de alto rango


Explanation:
Hi Valeria,

"Clerk" has multiple uses in English, from a sales person in a shop to an office secretary. But in the context of public organisms and state functions, it can normally be translated as "funcionario" or "oficial" (not so common, at least not in every variant of Spanish".

Hope it helps.
