Court titles

Court titles denote a person's role or position within the judicial system. Common titles include "Judge," who presides over cases; "Magistrate," a judicial officer handling preliminary matters or lower courts; "Justice," often used for high court judges; "Attorney" or "Lawyer," who represent clients; and "Clerk," who manages court records. These titles help identify responsibilities and hierarchy. They ensure clarity in legal proceedings and communication, reflecting each individual's function within the judicial process.
