The word Magistrate is derived from the English word “Magistrat.” A civil officer or a minor judicial officer in specific areas like district, town, etc is called as Magistrate. The mandate of Magistrate is to handle minor cases. A Judge is not a civil officer neither is he a minor judicial officer.

Often one of the final tasks of a judge’s tipstaff or associate is to hire their own replacement for the coming year, with applications generally opening at the beginning of each calendar year. The salary for tipstaves and associates varies between the states, ranging from $50,000 to $75,000.

“Security of the honourable judges has been enhanced as a precautionary measure. However, there has been no specific threat to anyone of the judges,” a senior official said. Now the mobile component of the security has been added and an escort vehicle with armed guards will accompany each judge’s vehicle.

High Court judges, as with all judges in England and Wales, hold office during good behaviour; this is laid down in the Bill of Rights 1689. This gives them greater security of tenure than if they held office during His or Her Majesty’s pleasure and is designed to protect their independence.

It is right to suggest that judges are able to rule that the acts of public bodies are unlawful and to decide against the Government in a particular case. That Act only permits the High Court, the Court of Appeal or the House of Lords/Supreme Court to declare legislation to be incompatible with the Convention rights.

In the vast majority of cases, judges do little more than enforce the rules of evidence and procedure. In that sense, they don’t really have much power at all.

A fresh-faced City lawyer has become one of the UK’s youngest judges at just 32. Jason Raeburn, a senior associate in the London office of Baker McKenzie, has been elevated to the part-time role of deputy master in the Chancery Division of the High Court.

Breaking the nib is a symbolic act. It is done so that the pen which signed the person’s life away will never be used to do that ever again. A death sentence, in principle, is a last resort action in dealing with extremely anti-social acts that cannot be resolved in any other way.

In person: In an interview, social event, or in court, address a judge as “Your Honor” or “Judge [last name].” If you are more familiar with the judge, you may call her just “Judge.” In any context, avoid “Sir” or “Ma’am.”

Quill pens have remained part of the Courtroom scene. White quills are placed on counsel tables each day that the Court sits, as was done at the earliest sessions of the Court. The “Judicial Handshake” has been a tradition since the days of Chief Justice Melville W.

Death is the worse punishment a man can be given. After signing the death sentence, a judge breaks the nib of the pen because he does not want to reuse the pen as it has signalled the end of a life. The Judge does not want to use the same “pen” which was used to give a death to a person.

If the judge has any sense, he won’t use an expensive fountain pen to sign death sentences. This tradition is very strong and even if judges use modern ball point pens, they will throw that pen away or at least, they’ll get a refill. …

There are a number of reasons why barristers still wear wigs. The most accepted is that it brings a sense of formality and solemnity to proceedings. By wearing a gown and wig, a barrister represents the rich history of common law and the supremacy of the law over the proceedings.

Lawyer is anyone who could give legal advice. So, this term englobes Solicitors, Barristers, and legal executives. Solicitor is a lawyer who gives legal advice and represent the clients in the courts. Barrister is a lawyer who is specialized in representing clients in the Courts.

In English law, the black cap was worn by a judge when passing a sentence of death. Although it is called a “cap”, it is not made to fit the head as a typical cap does; instead it is a simple plain square made of black fabric. It was based on Tudor Court headgear.

Judges in court do not use a set of scales, nor (one hopes) do they wield a sword. These things are purely symbolic. But the gavel is actually in use, as a tool of case management, in America. Judges have them up on the bench (ie their desktop) and whack those little wooden hammers to get attention.

“May God have mercy upon your soul” or “may God have mercy on your soul” is a phrase used within courts in various legal systems by judges pronouncing a sentence of death upon a person found guilty of a crime that requires a death sentence.

If you don’t stand up, the judge might hold you in contempt and fine you or send you to a jail cell until you apologize for showing his court room such a lack of respect.
