GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:juez natural
English translation:natural judge

Law/Patents - Law (general) / legal argument
Spanish term or phrase: juez natural
I know that this refers to a "judge whose position is created by law with general jurisdiction over and issue before or at the time it arrises, as opposed to a judge who is appointed after the fact to hear a certain issue."

How would we say that in the US?

Here's the sentence, it's a heading really:

Elección del derecho con el que se va a juzgar y principio de garantía del juez natural.

These are judges that were appointed by passing a law to hear and issue sentence on politically charged crimes.

natural judge
Explanation:
The right to be judged by a natural judge is guaranteed by the Brussels Convention and is referred to in Spanish and in English as "juez natural" and "natural judge".

Check the references I am citing below. There are many more. This concept is related to human rights guaranteed by international conventions and therefore the term is also "conventional" and does not have necessarily to coincide with the U.S. judicial system.

Se violenta en la norma referida y en su mérito el principio garantista del "Juez natural", pilar fundamental de la garantía de imparcialidad de la jurisdicción y por consiguiente de la tutela judicial efectiva que sustenta un sistema democrático republicano de gobierno como el consagrado por nuestro ordenamiento positivo.

La garantía del juez natural
También recibe el nombre de garantía de "juez legal". Significa esta garantía que nadie puede ser juzgado sino por el juez preconstituido y establecido legalmente con los presupuestos que connotan al juez auténtico; esto es, independencia, inamovilidad y responsabilidad. Se excluyen, en consecuencia, los jueces "ad hoc", "ex post facto" y las llamadas jurisdicciones especiales. (20)
El artículo 24.2. de la Ce reconoce esta garantía al disponer que todos tienen derecho al juez ordinario predeterminado por la ley.

Article 68 of the Egyptian Constitution provides for the right to a fair trial before a ****natural judge***** and makes all administrative acts and decisions subject to judicial scrutiny.


[2] Article 6.2 of the Brussels Convention of 1968 is not applicable where the defendant does not challenge the lack of jurisdiction of the presiding judge with the intention of continuing the trial on the warranty action in front of that same judge and, thus, preventing the third party from facing its ****natural judge.*****
