 "In common
law jurisdictions,
the generic term officer
of the court is
applied to all those who, in some degree in the function of
their professional or similar qualifications, have a part in the legal
system.
Officers of the court may include entities such as judges,
lawyers, and paralegals, and should not be confused with court
officers,
the law enforcement personnel who work in courts. In
French-speaking jurisdictions, officers of the court, excluding
judges, are known as auxiliaires
de justice[ (literally,
auxiliaries of justice),
not to be confused with judicial
assistants."
