Russian term

выезднаЯ сессиЯ

Russian to English Law/Patents Government / Politics Government
This refers to a court sitting (holding a trial) in a location other than its usual location.

I don't know of a US equivalent; sometimes trials are moved TO another court's usual location (change of venue, such as because of excessive pre-trial publicity)

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: " Indeed, "itinerary session" is a term which best describes what this is, even though this term is not used in the US. I've found "itinerary session" used for an academic conference, for example. Thanks also to Dan for clarifying what a circut court is in the US; circuit-riders are, I think, a thing of the past (such as the famouse Judge Roy Bean, "the law west of the Pecos")"

выездная сессия окружного суда = circuit court
Peer comment(s):

agree Jack Doughty : Yes. In 1685, Judge Jeffreys condemned hundreds to death in the "Bloody Assizes" in the West of England after the Monmouth rebellion, at Taunton, Weston-Super-Mare, Bristol etc. (P.S. Your new picture is a great improvement on the last one!)

it's similar but not the same

a changed venue is just that, another location to have the meeting or session, most likely another courthouse. In the old USSR, these sessions mostly took place at the best Black Sea resorts, so it can be (though not necessarily) a euphemism for giving judges, academics or MPs an extra perk. I would consider the context carefully... if this is a session of the court in a different but similar location, it's probably a changed venue, otherwise it may need to be described as a "field trip" of sorts.

Here are examples of both a field trip and a changed venue:

I think Lingvo is dead wrong - they totally miss the point with all those assizes and circuit courts, at least it rings false to my ear

Below are two definitions in Russian:

Выездная сессия суда - в СССР рассмотрение судом уголовного дела по месту совершения преступления, ... - БСЭ (Рубрикон)
http://encycl.yandex.ru/cgi-bin/art.pl?art=bse/00015/68800.h...

Сессии выездные, заседания судебных мест вне места постоянного их пребывания, для рассмотрения уголовных. дел, происходят в видах практич. удобств или в установленные постоянные сроки и в определенных заранее местах, или же на самом месте преступления. (Брокгауз)
http://encycl.yandex.ru/cgi-bin/art.pl?art=brokminor/36/3632...

OFF-SITE COURT SESSION delivers the sense of the first definition and only partly the sense of the second one.

Neither CIRCUIT COURT/CIRCUIT nor ASSIZE delivers the sense.

CIRCUIT COURT - the court of general jurisdiction in some states.
http://ircpolitics.org/glossary.html#C

CIRCUIT - a geographical division of South Dakota over which a circuit court has the jurisdiction to hear cases. http://www.sdjudicial.com/index.asp?category=glossary&nav=gl...

ASSIZE COURT -Superior court in Europe and England in which sessions are held periodically for the purpose of administering civil and criminal justice.

Not a great help. Sorry.

agree Libero_Lang_Lab : very good points. i think off-site court session fits the bill better than any other suggestions thus far.

neutral Jack slep : For what it's worth, Nov. Bol'shoi R-A Slovar' give "visting assize" which gives the idea of "off-site." Assize can be the session or the court itself.

ad-hoc or on-the-scene court sessions

Just a guess
Peer comment(s):

agree Tatiana Neroni (X) : Может быть, и не на месте преступления, а просто в другом месте, но мне эта версия нравится больше всего, она наиболее близка по значению к оригиналу.

Спасибо! Ждала Вашего ответа, поскольку не уверена, есть ли аналог в западных судебных системах (может, Вы знаете?), и дала описательно. Только мой ответ как бы включает в себя и то, и то и точнее было бы ad hoc AND on-the-scene

not for grading...

... just a note in response to Mark V:

Mark, I hear what you're saying. But my understanding is still that the Russian relates to an ad hoc displacement of the court session... whereas a circuit court is just that - part of a fixed circuit within a given State's juridical system.

Perhaps I am mistaken. :}

An offering


Between January and August 1996, 53 of those sentenced to death were executed. Since the moratorium on executions was established in August 1996, no further death sentences have been carried out. Moreover, in February 1999, the Constitutional Court decided to suspend all death sentences until an Assize Court had been created with a people’s jury (only nine out of 89 Russian regions currently have a court of appeal).
