Spanish to English Law/Patents Human Resources

I am translating grade transcripts from South American Universities, and they are often signed by the "Secretario Abogado" or "Secretaria Abogada" of the university or university department (Facultad de Economia, etc.). I assume this is like a Registrar in U.S. universities but does the "Abogado" part mean that they are also licensed attorneys? Should I put "Attorney-Secretary" or "Attorney Registrar"? Sounds strange but I don't know how to incorporate the Abogado part (obviously a normal U.S. university Registrar doesn't need a law degree). Thanks!
