| 词条 | Visiting judge |
| 释义 |
A visiting judge is a judge appointed to hear a case as a member of a court to which he or she does not ordinarily belong. In United States federal courts, this is referred to as an assignment "by designation" of the Chief Justice of the United States (for inter-circuit assignments) or the Circuit Chief Judge (for intra-circuit assignments), and is authorized by {{usc|28|292}} (for active district judges) or {{usc|28|294}} (for retired justices and judges).[1][2] In many United States Courts of Appeals it is not uncommon for a district judge to sit on a panel as a visiting judge; less frequently it is a judge from another circuit (in active service or, more commonly, in senior status). Retired Supreme Court justices have done the same, including Justices O'Connor[3] and Souter, and very unusually, sitting Justices (in 1984, for example, then-Justice William Rehnquist served as a visiting judge for a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.[4]). This is sometimes done to ease caseload pressures, and sometimes (as in Rehnquist's case) for experience.[5] References1. ^{{cite web |url= http://notabeneuh.blogspot.com/2012/04/sitting-by-designation.html |last= Baker |first= Dan |title= Sitting by Designation |work= Nota Bene: a blog by the librarians of the University of Houston O'Quinn Law Library |date= April 25, 2012 |accessdate= September 19, 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web |last= Stahl-Reisdorff |first= Nicholle |url= http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/fjc/visijud3.pdf |format= PDF |title= The Use of Visiting Judges in the Federal District Courts: A Guide for Judges & Court Personnel |accessdate= September 19, 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/04/29/oconnor_to_hear_cases_as_visiting_judge_to_hub_court |title= O'Connor to Hear Cases as Visiting Judge to Hub Court: Ex-Justice to Serve US Appeals Court |last= Saltzman |first= Jonathan |date=April 29, 2008 |accessdate=September 19, 2012 |work=The Boston Globe }} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,961645,00.html |title= Reagan's Mr. Right |last= Thomas |first= Evan | date= June 30, 1986 |accessdate=May 19, 2013 |work=Time }} 5. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1156769031655 |title=Exacting Easterbrook to Be Chief of 7th Circuit |last= Marek |first= Lynne |date= August 29, 2006 |accessdate=May 19, 2013 |work=The National Law Journal}} Discussing Frank H.
