A quick definition of officer of the court:

An officer of the court is someone who has a duty to make sure justice is done and the law is followed. This includes judges, court staff, police officers, and lawyers who must tell the truth in court and follow the rules.

An officer of the court is anyone who has a responsibility to make sure justice is served and the law is followed. This includes:

  • Judges
  • Clerks
  • Court personnel
  • Police officers
  • Attorneys (lawyers)

Attorneys have a special responsibility to be truthful in court and follow all the rules. This means they cannot lie or mislead the court, and they must follow all the procedures and guidelines set by the court.
