Items 2) and 3) follow 1) below:
2) Some would say that the translation of the word \"chambre\" as \"chamber\" in the translation you approve is literal - and even confusing, given the common use of the word in its plural form to refer to judges\' chambers.
3) Nothing in the question refers to the U.S. judicial system: consequently, your dubious equation of \"tribunal de grande instance\" to a \"District Court in the US\" involves an unwarranted assumption on your part.

: that's a very literal translation-it's a District Court in the US . you don't even need the NYU glossary ;-)-it's already been asked umpteen times before (see the glossary)/+ many, many more

1) You claim this translation is "very literal", but the glossary that you cite as evidence has both "Court of First Instance" and "Court of Grand Instance."
