Unreferenced date November 2006 In the Roman Catholic Church , a judicial vicar is an officer of the diocese who has ordinary ordinary power to judge cases in the diocesan ecclesiastical court . Although the diocesan bishop can reserve certain cases to himself, the judicial vicar and the diocesan bishop are a single tribunal , which means that decisions of the judicial vicar cannot be appealed to the diocesan bishop but must instead be appealed to the appellate tribunal. The judicial vicar or officialis ought to be someone other than the vicar general , unless the smallness of the diocese or the limited number of cases suggest otherwise canon 1420 1 . Other judges assist the judicial vicar either by deciding cases on a single judge basis or by forming with him a panel over which he or one of them presides. A judicial vicar may also be assisted by adjutant judicial vicars or vice officiales . Judicial vicars, adjutants, and other judges who preside in cases must be priests of good repute, must be at least thirty years old, and must hold a doctorate or licentiate in canon law canon 1420 4 . Judicial vicars are to serve for a specific term of office canon 1422 and, unlike vicars general and episcopal vicar s, do not cease from office when the diocese is without a bishop canon 1420 5 , either through the bishop s death, resignation having been accepted by the Roman Pontiff , transfer, or privation of office having been made known to the bishop .

Unreferenced date April 2007 Judicial economy refers broadly to the principle that the limited resources of the legal system or a given court should be conserved. Multiple causes of action in a given case Judicial economy most commonly refers to the refusal of a court to decide one or more claims raised in a case, on the grounds that it has decided other claims in the case and that its decision on those claims should satisfy the parties. For example, the plaintiff may claim that the defendant s actions violated three distinct laws. Having found for the plaintiff for a violation of the first law, the court then has the discretion to exercise judicial economy and refuse to make a decision on the remaining two claims, on the grounds that the finding of one violation should be sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff. Threshold issue in a given case In the presence of a threshold issue that will ultimately decide a case, a court may elect to hear that issue rather than proceeding with a full blown trial. Class action lawsuits Class action lawsuit s are another example of judicial economy in action, as they are often tried as a single case, yet involve many cases with similar facts. Rather than trying each case individually, which would unduly burden the judicial system, the cases can be consolidated into a class action. issue preclusion Empty section date July 2010 claim preclusion DEFAULTSORT Judicial Economy Category Legal procedure Category Law and economics law term stub de Konzentrationsgrundsatz lt Proceso koncentracija pt Princ pio da concentra o ... more details
Judicial discretion is the power of the judiciary to make some legal decisions according to their discretion . Under the doctrine of the separation of powers , the ability of judge s to exercise discretion is an aspect of judicial independence . Where appropriate, judicial discretion allows a judge to decide a legal case or matter within a range of possible decisions. However, where the exercise of discretion goes beyond constraints set down by legislation , by binding precedent , or by a constitution , the court may be abusing its discretion and undermining the rule of law . In that case, the decision of the court may be ultra vires , and may sometimes be characterized as judicial activism . Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the following on this subject blockquote Judicial power, as contradistinguished from the power of the laws, has no existence. Courts are the mere instruments of the law, and can will nothing. When they are said to exercise a discretion, it is a mere legal discretion, a discretion to be exercised in discerning the course prescribed by law and, when that is discerned, it is the duty of the court to follow it. Judicial power is never exercised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the judge, always for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the legislature or, in other words, to the will of the law. ref http supreme.justia.com us 22 738 case.html Osborn V.

Summary and complaints against judicial extremism Largely associated with Cass Sunstein Cass R. Sunstein , it presents itself as a moderate stance, criticizes the more American conservatism conservative stance of originalism as judicial activism in disguise, since minimalists believe that a faithful application of originalist theory would result in a system of constitutional law where modern societal mores would be ignored, largely in favor of the now antiquated ones held by Founding Fathers of the United States the Founders based on the assertion that the Founders understanding of constitutional law would likely include ideas about gender equality , racism , etc. that modern society would find objectionable. Conservatives who subscribe to this viewpoint, minimalists say, are likely to ignore precedent where it is convenient for conservative political aims. Minimalism also criticizes traditional American liberalism liberal judicial activism as overexpansive and also ignorant of precedent when it is convenient to liberal political aims.

Judicial astrology is the art of forecasting future events by calculation of the planetary and stellar bodies and their relationship to the Earth . The term judicial astrology was mainly used in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance to mean the type of astrology that was considered to be heretical by the Catholic church , distinguished from the natural astrology such as medical astrology and meteorological astrology , which were seen as acceptable because they were a part of the natural sciences of the time. Today this distinction is largely obsolete. Description and classical history In the Middle Ages natural astrology would have been mainly focused on the diagnosis and the treatment of medical patients. For more information on this, see the article on medical astrology . An additional use would have been the application of astrology to determine future weather patterns based on the Aristotelianism Aristotelian Ptolemy Ptolemaic rationale that the planets cause change in the sublunary world by producing an efflux of elements and qualities. Every other branch was lumped together into the heading of judicial astrology . These included natal astrology , mundane astrology , horary astrology , and electional astrology . Modern judicial astrology and skeptical treatment Today, judicial astrology tends to be an obsolete distinction because between the Middle Ages and modern times other sciences have arisen and astrology has ceased to be one of the primary diagnostic tools in medicine and meteorological studies.

For example, a judge may not be the subject of a slander or libel suit for statements made about someone during a trial, even if the defamatory statements had nothing to do with the trial at hand. Nor may a judge s clerk be sued for negligence in failing to deliver materials to the judge. The purpose of judicial immunity is twofold it encourages judges to act in a fair and just manner, without regard to the possible extrinsic harms their acts may cause outside of the scope of their work. It protects government workers from harassment from those whose interests they might negatively affect.

A judicial panel is a set of judges who sit together to hear a cause of action, most frequently an appeal from a ruling of a trial court judge . Panels are used in contrast to single judge appeals, and en banc hearings, which involves all of the judges of that court. In the United States , most federal appellate cases are heard by three judge panels. The governing statute, 28 U.S.C. 46 c , provides cquote Cases and controversies shall be heard and determined by a court or panel of not more than three judges except that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit may sit in panels of more than three judges if its rules so provide , unless a hearing or rehearing before the court en banc is ordered by a majority of the circuit judges of the circuit who are in regular active service. Most trials in the United States District Court s are held before a single judge, but there are some circumstances where the trial itself is required to be held before a three judge panel. For example, 28 U. S. C. 2284 a states cquote A district court of three judges shall be convened when otherwise required by Act of Congress, or when an action is filed challenging the constitutionality of the apportionment of congressional districts or the apportionment of any statewide legislative body. Typically, if the chief judge is a member of the panel, that person will chair the panel and call hearings to order if the chief judge is not on the panel, this duty falls to the senior most judge. Following oral arguments, the judges will meet briefly to confer and determine what the likely majority opinion in the case will be. If the judge who chairs the panel is in the majority at this time, that judge may assign the writing of the opinion for that case.
