Twenty five years ago, a murder occurred the grand jury was comprised of one judge to review all material and make a determination. Is this unusual?
The court itself has more than one judge assigned to it, but only one judge is assigned to hear each case in its entirety .
Some municipal courts are known as 'Courts of General Session' - such a judge would probably be a municipal judge assigned to the bench in that court.
Judge
A judge is assigned to particular branch (either civil or criminal) of the District Court to which they are assigned. Normally they rotate every so often but at the direction of the Chief Judge of that particular district.
A judicial assistant or secretary is assigned to a judge. Law clerks help with the administration.
If you have been assigned a judge, contact the clerk of the court for that court and ask.
If the parent you are leaving was assigned by a judge to take care of you then yes. If not and both parents are assigned to take care of you, you are free to go.
Usually, but not necessarily, a new judge will ee assigned to the case.
When abbreviating the word "Honorable" as in a title assigned to a judge, use Hon.
In the United States, a defendant who cannot afford an attorney is assigned one by the judge in the case. These legal costs are from taxes.
I would have to say no...but I am no one to judge :)
This is one that I heard a judge ask. Where were you at the time this happened? The defendent said "I have no idea". The judge said " I thought maybe I would get you on that one". The judge found him not guilty.
