Career

Prior to his election to the House, Stern was elected as Blair County Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts after serving as Deputy Prothonotary from 1982 to 1989.

The word prothonotary is recorded in English since 1447, as "principal clerk of a court," from L.L. prothonotarius, from Greek protonotarios "first scribe," originally the chief of the college of recorders of the court of the Byzantine Empire, from Greek πρῶτοςprotos "first" + Latin notarius ("notary"); the -h- appeared in Medieval Latin. The title was awarded to certain high-ranking notaries.

A court clerk is an officer of the court whose responsibilities include maintaining records of a court. Another duty is to administer oaths to witnesses, jurors, and grand jurors.

In the Legislature, Stern has been appointed to the Subcommittee on Military and Veterans Facilities. He also has served on the Agricultural and Rural Affairs and Children and Youth Committees. [3]
