What is the Greffe?
The Greffe supports the work of Jersey’s parliament – the States Assembly – including its States Members, scrutiny panels and committees. This involves providing advice and support to States Members and the Bailiff relating to the business and procedures of the States Assembly, as well as preparing and publishing documents for meetings of States Members in the States Chamber and keeping records of all the decisions made. Importantly, it also informs and educates the public about elections.
The States Greffe is led by the Greffier of the States, Lisa Hart, who acts as clerk to the States Assembly and is appointed by the Bailiff with the agreement of the States Assembly. The Greffier has a legal responsibility to act as keeper of the official records of the States Assembly and publisher of official publications.
