Talk:Examining magistrate

To add later
Note to self:

French magistrates are represented by two competing trade unions: the Syndicat de la Magistrature and the Union syndicale des magistrats (established in 1968).

Situation in Germany: Ermittlungsrichter
As I see it, it is insufficient and misleading to state only, that Germany suppressed the office of "Untersuchungsrichter" without telling the reader that it (the office) has been replaced rather by that of "Ermittlungsrichter". His tasks are rather similar to those of his predecessor, and even though at first sight tne main difference seems to be that indeed the investigation is now in the hands of the prosecution, at second sight it becomes evident, that the "Ermittlungsrichter" may take the initiative... That is what I gleaned from the German wiki articles, but, as I am not qualified and knowledgeable in matters of law, I refrain from making changes in the Englisch article myself... --Terminally uncool (talk) 08:17, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
