A clerk of assize is a person who works in a court and is responsible for keeping records and doing administrative tasks. They help the court run smoothly and keep track of important information.

A more thorough explanation:

A clerk of assize is a historical term used to refer to an associate responsible for record-keeping and other clerical and administrative functions in an assize court. An assize court is a court that sits in a particular place at a particular time to hear cases.

For example, in English law, a clerk of assize was an officer of a common-law court responsible for maintaining the court's records, attending jury trials, and entering verdicts.
