v. work as a clerk

Clerk, the vocational title, commonly refers to a white collar office worker who conducts general office or (in some instances) sales tasks. The responsibilities of clerical workers commonly include record keeping, filing, staffing service counters and other administrative tasks. In American English, this includes shop staff, but in British English, such people are known as shop assistants and are not considered to be clerks. Also, the correct British English pronunciation of the word sounds more like clark whereas the American English is as expected, however both are now acceptable in the everyday language of British English.

Within our judicial system, there are many types of clerks. Court clerks (frequently called county clerks) keep track of documents filed with courts; these clerks may also be called civil or criminal clerks, depending on the court in which they work. Courtroom clerks are assigned to particular judges to handle the paper flow in the courtroom; law clerks (usually law students or lawyers) assist judges (and sometimes attorneys) in legal research and writing. Calendar clerks handle the scheduling of trials and hearings.
