lady justice

French translation: Madame la Juge XXX

Law/Patents - Law (general) / hearing
English term or phrase: lady justice
Hello,

I am translating this hearing with no much context and at the beginning of the document it says:

Hearing date: XXXXXX
Lady Justice XXXXX: Introduction
This is an appeal against conviction with the leave of the single judge who granted the necessary extension of time of 3 years and 15 days.

I am wondering about the Lady Justice xxx bit. Is it just a way to call the Court of appeal, or more broadly the Justice in itself?

Dame Justice me parait désuet.

Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
S'il y a un nom de famille après "Justice", il s'agit effectivement de la juge chargée de l'affaire.

Juge


Explanation:
selon moi il ne s'agit que de la reprise de la dénomination de l'allégorie bien connue des anglo-saxons, mais en français celle-ci ne me semble pas traduite. Elle semble désigner ici la juge et je laisserai donc simplement "juge".

neutral  AllegroTrans: The "Anglo-saxons" have been "dead" (or at least fully assimilated into the populations of the British Isles) for more than 1.5 millennia and the legal system to which you allude owes much of its foundation to the Normans

Lady Justice XXX


Explanation:
Lady et Lord Justice sont des termes qui n'existent pas en français puisque nos magistrats ne sont (généralement) pas des nobles. Je préfère toujours laisser les titres du pays d'origine dans la langue d'origine.

Le plus approchant en français si on veut laisser le titre serait "Dame Juge XXX".
