judicial systems ( in court: Lay judges )

In most civil-law countries, judges at all levels are professionally trained in the law, but in many other countries they are not. In England, part-time lay judges greatly outnumber full-time professional judges. Called magistrates or justices of the peace, they dispose of more than 95 percent of all criminal cases and do so with general public satisfaction and the approbation of most lawyers..

jos jedna od opcija
Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_judge

"In Superior Court and Family Court, the Assistant Judges sit as fact finders with a presiding, law-trained judge. Together they form a kind of mini-jury. Issues of law are the purview of the presiding judge, but as a practical matter, most decisions are made collegially."
