court rapporteur Explanation: From wikipedia.fr: L'appellation rapporteur public désigne, à compter du 1er février 2009, les anciens « commissaires du gouvernement » devant certaines juridictions (tribunaux administratifs, cours administratives d'appel et formations contentieuses du Conseil d'État) : il s'agit de elle-même intervenant à l'audience pour analyser le litige et proposer une solution de droit. Le changement d'appellation vise à mettre en évidence leur indépendance et à les distinguer des « commissaires du gouvernement » devant certaines commissions administratives, où il s'agit de représentants de l'administration30. Le but est donc d'éviter quelques ambiguïtés ou quelques erreurs concernant la fonction. |

"public rapporteur" Explanation: I would put it in inverted commas to show there is no direct equivalent and add a defining note if necessary such as below (from 1st link) "...In the French Conseil d'Etat judicial system, the "public rapporteur" is a member of the Council in charge of presenting to the court the claim put forward in the complaint, of analyzing the circumstances and the applicable law, and of proposing independent and impartial conclusions and recommendations regarding the final decision. Usually, the court follows these conclusions, or simply makes slight modifications before delivering its judgement.

public enquiry (chief) magistrate Explanation: Given the context (Conseil d'Etat) and the idea of 'publically', I'd say we are talking about a public enquiry in which case the term is 'magistrate' , at least in GB English Reference: http://www.eversheds.co.za/publications/article/insolvency_a... |
