Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Judicial system Posted Aug 21, 2003 by klm This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 On the fly translation from the Swedish National Encyclopedia: Judge: Person judging cases in a court of law. A judge may be a layman or a jurist. The Jurist judge is a lawman, headcounselor or a counselor (translators remark: different levels of judges) in higher courts president of the court, courtlawman or courtcounselor. And in the supreme court a counselor of justice. The jurist judges are appointed by the governement and in practice unchangeable. The layman judges are appointed by election (in municipality governement or county governement, not general elections). To be a layman judge you have to be a Swedish citizen, resident of the courts jurisdiction.To be a jurist judge you have to be a Swedish citizen and have a degree in law.
