courthouse guard


Explanation:
BTW, Google tuto kolokaci vrací 1650x, "judicial guard" 190x
Vzhledem k charakteru činnosti stráže se jeví "courthouse" jako logicky příhodnější.

court-appointed officer


Explanation:
Based on Radek's description, this is the term that most fits the act of serving (executing) papers. It must be a person officially charged by the court to do so.

Example sentence(s):
  • "The court appointed officer must file reports with the court and notify the parties of all property that is seized and any payments that have been made from that property", source: http://courts.michigan.gov/scao/selfhelp/collection/seize_help.htm#serve

Bailiff


Explanation:
Bailiff - "A court officer who maintains order during court proceedings." (Black's Law Dictionary).

"Justiční stráž zajišťuje pořádek a bezpečnost v budově soudu a při výkonu pravomoci Nejvyššího správního soudu" (http://www.nssoud.cz/justicni_straz.php)

Looks like a match to me.

Sorry, forgot definition no. 2 from Black's: "A sheriff's officer who executes writs and serves processes". Further down in the link to the NSS, "doručování písemností soudu" is included in the "job description". So I stand by my suggestion.

So Radovan has answered himself correctly... "Marshal" is also a good option (at least in US English). Black's Law Dict "2. A judicial officer who provides court security, executes process, and performs other tasks for the court." The job description here http://www.careerplanner.com/DOT-Job-Descriptions/DEPUTY-UNI... notes that marshals "serve civil and criminal writs". So "Bailiff" or "Marshal" both work. Good job Radovan ;-)
