What is a law clerk? A law clerk is a person who performs nonlegal tasks and receives legal assistants for those tasks. Generally, a law clerk performs secretarial or office work in addition to giving legal advice to attorneys.
A law clerk may choose to study law and is legally liable for acts committed in his or her capacity as a law clerk.
The term “secretarial work” includes clerical work and the work of secretary to a superior court clerk, the director of a law library, the director of a law school, the director of a federal judiciary center, or the director of a state department of justice.
Attorneys, including judges, are not required to answer questions under oath unless the questions relate to the attorney’s conduct or practice of law or to the attorney’s fitness for the office of judge.
