Circuit judge (UK)Circuit Judge

Since the UK seems to be the only jurisdiction that officially terms judges Circuit Judges, I thinkCircuit Judges should link to here, with a further link to a Circuit Judge (disambiguation) page at the top. The existing Circuit Judges should be renamed as a disambiguation page. Doing it the other way around, as it presently is, is US-centric.Gymnophoria (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

So it does, but do they call their judges "circuit judges"? I don't know. Neither does wikipedia. Something that should be resolved either way. Francis Davey (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
United States circuit court is a historical article about a court that was abolished in 1911. Text in this article: "...and later a circuit judge, would sit on the circuit court."; "...circuit riding was somewhat alleviated by the appointment of circuit judges under the Circuit Judges Act of 1869."; "Although any district court judge could be authorized to act as a circuit judge..."—the term is a general and broad term, and any Wikipedia article on circuit judge should cover the topic from a broad, worldwide, current and historical perspective.

Excellent. I missed that. Then "circuit judge" is a generic terms and this page should simply be moved to Circuit judge (England and Wales). It really makes no sense being here. By the way this is not at all obvious (as it might seem to you). Over here: district judge doesn't sit in a district court (there's no such thing) and a circuit judge doesn't sit in a circuit court, puisne judges (when we had them) didn't sit in a puisne court. It just isn't logical in the way you might expect, but that's because we don't have a neat judge/court mapping that some jurisdictions do. Francis Davey (talk) 20:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
