Historically, for instance in ancient Israel, scribes were a class of well-educated Jews who studied and explained the law, there were referred to as lawyers or rabbis occasionally, they were not priests.

In modern society, a scribe usually works in the medical field, and sees that notes are taken of all medical procedures, correctly entered in the chart, etc.
