(family law) social services case manager
Am working on a case now, and going with this. At least, as in my case, for court appointed 'familjerättssocionomer'. My view is that they are more than 'case workers' simply because they have a higher status (and greater responsibilities) here in the Nordics.
You'll find 'social service(s) case manager' which is what these people are (degreed social services case managers), and these ones simply specialize in family law cases.
Better late than ...

family law case worker
Friends don't let friends use "secretary" for this one. ;-)
The glossary from the Swedish court system (at the link) uses "social worker, caseworker" for "socialsekreterare". I would split it into "case worker" but you will see the single-word version used as well.

: Hmm, and the same publication has 'justitiesekreterare' as 'judge referee'! This person is more than a case worker, I'd say. But referee ...never heard of it. Not a bad reference

Having taken a look at the occupational requirements and job duties for a "familjerättssekreterare", I'm confident of my answer: http://www.aditrorecruit.com/External/OJCustomer3/Assignment...

Discussion
"family law" is something that a lawyer works with or specalises in, or a law student or even a case worker might study. But a case worker or social worker doesn't practice family law.
I don't get why "family law" is used here by the Swedish powers that be.
