juzgado correccional (del primer magistrado)


Explanation:
It may also be "juzgado de primera instancia (e instrucción)"

I would double-check before calling it a Supreme or Superior Court, because I really don't think that's what they're referring to.

MAGISTRATE'S COURT

{Dere.} juzgado correccional o de paz

· chief magistrate » primer magistrado

· chief magistrate » presidente

· committing magistrate » juez de paz


MAGISTRATES' COURT
{loc.} tribunal de primera instancia

NOTE: If Nigeria HAS a Supreme Court, they would have used that term. You MUST BE CAREFUL before tossing legal terminology out without foundation. Please double-check. You will probably see that IT IS NOT a \"Tribunal Supremo\".

Supreme Court of Nigeria - [ Traduzca esta página ]
Supreme Court. Justices of the Supreme Court. Muhammadu Lawal Uwais.
Chief Justice of Nigeria. Salihu Modibbo Alfa Belgore. Abubakar ...

The sentence beginning with \"If Nigeria\" should read \"Nigeria HAS a Supreme Court and they would have used that term if that was what they had meant.\"
