  • 巡迴法官（英語：Circuit Judge）是英格蘭和威爾斯的法官，於皇室法院、郡法院和某些英格蘭及威爾斯高等法院的特定分庭任職，例如是科技及建築法庭。目前，英格蘭和威爾斯地區有超過600名在任巡迴法官。 巡迴法官一職根據《1971年法院法令》設立，並取代了以往的各四季法院院長和自治市特委法官。巡迴法官在英文書面上被稱作「His Honour Judge X」（男性）或「Her Honour Judge X」（女性），意即「榮譽的法官X」（X為法官姓名），並簡稱為「His／Her Honour」。而在法庭上則會尊稱巡迴法官為「Your Honour」（榮譽的您）。有時人們會因巡迴法官身穿紫色法袍而以「紫色法官」稱呼他們。兼職性質的巡迴法官實際上的職位是特委法官，不過仍會享有「Your Honour」的專稱。 巡迴法官的職級低於高等法院法官但高於地方法官。他們亦可以被任命為暫委高等法院法官，而部分資深巡迴法官更可於上訴法院刑事分庭任職。 (zh)

  • Circuit judges are judges in England and Wales who sit in the Crown Court, the County Court and some specialized sub-divisions of the High Court of Justice, such as the Technology and Construction Court. There are currently over 600 circuit judges throughout England and Wales. The office of circuit judge was created by the Courts Act 1971 and replaced the former offices of chairman of quarter sessions and borough recorder. Circuit judges are styled His or Her Honour Judge X and are referred to as His or Her Honour. They are sometimes referred to as "purple judges" on account of their purple colour dress robes. Recorders effectively function as part-time circuit judges and are also addressed as "Your Honour". Circuit judges rank below High Court judges but above district judges. They may be appointed to sit as deputy High Court judges, and some of the more senior circuit judges are eligible to sit in the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal. Until 1 April 2005 there were six court circuits in England and Wales, namely the Midland, Northern, North Eastern, South Eastern and Western circuits, and the Wales and Chester circuit. On that date, following the creation of Her Majesty's Courts Service (HMCS), the circuits were replaced by seven regions: Midlands, North West, North East, South East, London, South West and Wales. Formerly, circuit judges could only be drawn from barristers and solicitors of at least 10 years' standing. However, in 2004 there were calls for increased diversity among the judiciary that were recognised and the qualification period was changed so that, as of 21 July 2008, a potential circuit judge must satisfy the judicial-appointment eligibility condition on a 7-year basis. When hearing criminal cases, circuit judges wear a violet robe with lilac trim, bands, a short horsehair wig and a red tippet (sash) over the left shoulder. For civil cases they wear the same robe with a lilac sash, but neither bands nor wigs are worn. When sitting at the Old Bailey, and for some types of High Court work, circuit judges wear a black silk gown over a court coat or a waistcoat. On ceremonial occasions they wear violet robes with a lilac trim and a full-bottomed wig. (en)
