English Legal System: District Judge
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of District Judge : In the county courts, a judicial officer appointed by the Lord Chancellor from solicitors of not less than seven years’ standing. The district judge supervises interim (interlocutory) and post-judgment stages of the case, but can also try cases within a financial limit defined by statute. District judges were formerly known as district registrars.
district judge (magistrates’ court) A barrister or solicitor of not less than seven years’ standing, appointed by the Lord Chancellor to sit in a magistrates’ court on a full-time salaried basis: formerly (before August 2000) called a stipendiary magistrate. Metropolitan district judges (magistrates’ court) sit in magistrates’ courts for Inner London; other magistrates sit in large provincial centres. They have power to perform any act and to exercise alone any jurisdiction that can be performed or exercised by two justices of the peace, except the grant or transfer of any licence. In other respects their powers are the same as other justices.
