Lineage
Preceded by Big Wig	Succeeded by Chief Justice

The Office Clerk is the Supervisor Cog of the Lawbots who possesses special moves with status effects. She resides in the Law Library at the end of the Lawbot DA Offices in Lawbot Headquarters. Once she and the other Cogs are defeated, Toons receive skill points for their gags and a certain number of Jury Notices.

Before The Office Clerk's formal arrival, the Toon Resistance gathered data and created a case file containing some intel about her.

Battle

The battle begins with The Office Clerk being unhappy about Toons infiltrating her facility before other Cogs arrive shortly. When the Cogs are defeated, she summons Virtual Skelecogs that explode after she is defeated.

Based on damage calculations, it is estimated that The Office Clerk has 1100 health in the Junior Wing and 1500 health in the Senior Wing.
