Judge's chambers → Judicial chambers – The current title strikes me as overly informal. By comparison, we have Judicial intern and Judicial opinion, not Judge's intern and Judge's opinion. BD2412 T 05:31, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep as is. I have heard the phrase "Judge's chambers".  I've never heard the phrase "Judicial chambers".  Before we move it, we need some indication that the phrase "Judicial chambers" is actually used, rather than just made up on Wikipedia. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:42, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what this article is really for. We have in camera for one meaningful topic for "in chambers", and in-chambers opinion for another... what is left for this article? Anyway, as this article stands, I oppose renaming. Judicial chambers is less common than judge's chambers. See ngrams. Contrast with opinion ngrams and intern ngrams. There are plenty of examples of "judge's chambers" in formal writing and I see no reason to believe it is informal. Adumbrativus (talk) 07:11, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * There’s overlap between in camera and “chambers”, but they’re not the same thing. “In camera” means a proceeding held without the public being admitted, but that can be a trial held in camera, which is not a chambers proceeding. And in some legal systems, a chambers hearing is normally held in public, and only rarely “in camera”. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 12:10, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Mr Serjeant. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 03:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
