German term or phrase: im zweiten Hauptamt

From a German CV: the person is a university professor of law and a "Richter am Oberlandesgericht im zweiten Hauptamt".

Could I translate this with something like "concurrently", or is there a standard way of wording it? Any pointers much appreciated.

Perhaps you could put it like this: \"...university professor of law and in a second civil service position as judge...\". :-)
