I think it should be translated as REGISTER. Is that wrong?

Лиза,
честно сказать, в нашей юридической фирме в этом случае мы переводим как \"secretary\", это больше подходит для того, чем занимается этот человек в нашей системе права.

Registrar


Explanation:
You are very close. I think it's a Registrar. Not a 100 per cent sure. Must be checked.

Court Registrar

Here\'s a quote from a reference - maybe it will validate your guess when you check it against the context:

A court officer may specialise as one of the following;


Bailiff attends to the needs of the jury throughout a trial and swears in the jurors and witnesses during court proceedings. They may also serve writs, summonses and other court orders.

Clerk of Court (also known as a bench clerk) manages the smooth operation of courts. They prepare documentation of court proceedings, actions and decisions, attend court sessions and assist judges and magistrates.

Court Registrar coordinates the daily running of the courts. They prepare the daily court list, maintain court records. They also handle the accounting and distributing of money paid to the court.

Sheriff is responsible for providing court security and support services, manages the jury system and serves the orders issued by courts and tribunals. They also undertake administrative tasks such as processing people appearing before the Courts for trial or sentencing.

Here is a quote with the use of the term \'Registrar,\" however, it seems that a different cast os present than in your text:

The Court Hearing
On the day of your court hearing, you will have to attend the District Court. It will be a court open to the public and it will be a District Court Judge that will hear your case. While the usual rules of court procedure apply, the Small Claims Court is a more relaxed and informal court.

When your case is called you will hear your name called out and then the name of the respondent, e.g., \"Patrick Murphy versus Joe Ryan\".

At this point, you should stand up and identify yourself to the court. The Small Claims Registrar will then call out to the judge a summary of what your case is about. You will then be asked to go to the witness box. You will stand in the witness box and the Court Clerk will assist you to swear an oath or to make an affirmation to tell the truth. The judge will then ask you to begin your case. Here is where you must give your side of the dispute, in as clear a fashion as possible and backed up with as much evidence as you need.

The clerk/registrar are sometimes used interchangeably.

The clerk/registrarThe clerk or registrar takes charge of the court papers and anyother thing which is handed into the court.The court reporterThe court reporter writesdown what everyone says incourt.The publicOther people may sit quietlyat the back of the court andlisten.6

It seems that there IS a difference between a court clerk and a registrar - they may represent two different offices. Need to do more research.

agree  Montefiore: yes, it's a more general term for a person who performs "secretarial"/"clerical" duties, whereas, the way I understand it, registrar sounds more as a specific role one performs during a hearing - not entirely sure if there's a difference

  -> I think both are correct, it's just a matter of choice

agree  cheeter: Clerk of Court is the closest to секретарь.

clerk (of the court), recorder, registrar


Explanation:
мне кажется, что в данном контексте лучше употребить или clerk, или recorder. Последнее значение - это обычно обозначение должностного лица, который непосредственно вносит запись в регистрационные книги.
Секретарь во время судебного заседания готовит необходимые документы, ведет записи, следит за вызовом участников судебного заседания и т.д. - то есть функции несколько шире, чем просто registrar.

agree  Montefiore: мне кажется, что наоборот, clerk - более широкий термин, а registrar - должность; кроме того, записи ведёт court reporter
