A court usher is a position in a law court. Tasks generally performed by court ushers involve escorting participants to the courtroom[1] and seeing that they are suitably hydrated, as well as ensuring the secure transaction of legal documents within the court room and deciding the order of cases.[2] The roles of an usher may vary from what type of court they are ushering.
