Keeper of the records
The duty of the keeper of the records is to make the court record of the proceedings in the court, according to the instructions from the presiding judge, and to perform other tasks as required. The keeper of the records is not a member of the court.
If the court has no court usher (bailiff), the keeper of the records takes over some of the court usher's duties related to the practical implementation of the case. In these cases, claims for allowances, loss of earnings, and travel expenses can be addressed to the keeper of the records.

It is not unusual for an appeal hearing to be conducted without a
specific keeper of the records, and one of the professional judges must
then take charge of keeping the court record.
