Chief court officer seemed like a different position according to Google, so I went with Chief Court Clerk to be on the safe side.

Senior (E&W crim) Justices' > (AmE) Court > Clerk

Explanation:
Not too sure of the US/Can. equivalent, but some of my c0ontemporaries at Guildford Law College (near Reading) took the Justices' Clerk option on Solictors' Finals.

OK - to (half of) Douglas B's previous answer, except that Justices' Clerk would IMO be a good etymological fit for a non-UK readership/non-E&W judicial readership.

Example sentence(s):

The Justices' Clerk is the senior lawyer and adviser to the magistracy.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Adrian! I'm going with Senior Court Clerk based on your reference, since it's the person responsible for the paper work. The lawyer and adviser to the magistracy seem too high up for this context (I believe).

Asker: My English is UK, so I don't really care about the others (unless asked). :)
