Jersey
Since 1931, there have been two Greffiers in Jersey.
The Judicial Greffier is the clerk or Registrar of the Royal Court and the other courts of the Island. The Greffier also carries out some of the administrative functions of the Royal Court, for example registering doctors. Currently the role of Judicial Greffier and the role of Viscount (executive officer of the Royal Court) is held jointly by one person.
The Greffier of the States is the clerk and record-keeper for the States Assembly. Propositions presented to the States are described as "lodged au Greffe".
