angielski term

general magistrate

angielski > polski Prawo/patenty Prawo (ogólne)
A general magistrate is an attorney appointed by a judge to take testimony and recommend decisions on certain matters connected with a divorce.

General magistrates are widely utilized in Florida's trial courts to assist the judiciary in the effective and timely disposition of cases. They are appointed by the chief judge to hear cases and make findings of fact and recommendations in a General Magistrate's Report to judges in the Family, Circuit Civil, Juvenile and Probate Divisions. Once the general magistrate has filed a report with the sitting judge, either party in the case may appeal by making exceptions to the general magistrate's findings and recommendations. If there are no exceptions to the report, the judge generally enters an order approving the decision of the general magistrate.

Thanks for any suggestions.

adiunkt .... Prawnicy mianowicie, którzy zamierzają zostać sędziami, a nie zdobyli konwencjonalnego wykształcenia w tej mierze, dostali możliwość sprawowania stanowiska adiunkta w sądach apelacyjnych i apelacyjnych sądach administracyjnych. Jest to zatrudnienie na ogół na sześć miesięcy, w czasie których adiunkt może uczestniczyć jako sędzia w rozprawach sądowych, pisać uzasadnienia orzeczeń i decyzji. Wykonywanie tej funkcji stanowi jeden ze sposobów na poszerzenie bazy rekrutacji sędziów i w projekcie ustawy z 2007 roku podkreślano, że sprawowanie stanowiska adiunkta bardzo ułatwia ocenę, czy ktoś nadaje się na sędziego czy nie. - https://www.rp.pl/Rzecz-o-prawie/309199985-Sady-a-droga-do-z...

specjalny asystent sędziego

This reminds me of "special masters" who hear bankruptcy proceedings and are not judges but appointed lawyers. In New Jersey, for example, the recommended translation is specjalny asystent sędziego

Special Master

In the law of the United States, a special master is generally a subordinate official appointed by a judge to make sure that judicial orders are actually followed, or in the alternative, to hear evidence on behalf of the judge and make recommendations to the judge as to the disposition of a matter. The special master should not be confused with the traditional common law concept of a master, a judge of the High Court entrusted to deal with summary and administrative matters falling short of a full trial.

masters, special masters, magistrates, special magistrates, general magistrates

A note on nomenclature is unavoidable. “Magistrates” have replaced “masters” in Florida state courts. Effective October 1, 2004, the Supreme Court of Florida amended Rule 1.490, Rule 12.492, and Rule 5.697 so that all references to “master” thereafter became “magistrate.”10 “Special masters” became “special magistrates.” The change was essentially administrative and cosmetic.11 Both “master” and “magistrate” denote court appointees with varying degrees of limited judicial authority. The subject of general magistrates, except incidentally, is outside the scope of this article. We are concerned here with masters serving specifically delineated tasks in specific cases — masters that have been historically designated as “special masters.” - https://goo.gl/SwK9iu
