The K-Zone: District Judge
This term is used to unify two categories of legal professional, both
of which require similar qualifications and experience of the post-holder.
These are
what used to be known as a `stipendiary Magistrate', and
a Registrar of the court. Where the distinction is significant,
it is conventional to write `District Judge (magistrates' court)' for
the former.
