Judicial Greffe

The Judicial Greffe provides administrative and secretarial support to ensure the effective operation of Jersey’s courts.  This includes the Royal Court, which is Jersey's High Court and is presided over by the Bailiff of Jersey; the Court of Appeal; the Magistrate's Court; the Youth Court;  and the Petty Debts Court.

The Judicial Greffe supports a variety of different areas of judicial work, including:  intellectual property registrations; family law; land registration  and wills.  Each week, the Royal Court sits on Friday to hear general matters.  The name of this Court, the Samedi Court, and the name of this Department, the Judicial Greffe, reflect the historic roots of Jersey law in Norman French law.
