Canon 252

1. In the eparchial curia a chancellor is to be appointed who

is to be a presbyter or deacon and whose principal obligation,

unless otherwise established by the particular law, is to see

that the acts of the curia are gathered and arranged as well as

preserved in the archives of the eparchial curia. 2. If it

seems necessary the chancellor can be given an assistant whose

title is vice-chancellor. 3. The chancellor as well as the

vice-chancellor are by the law itself notaries of the eparchial

curia.
