Did you know that it's not a judge who will analyze your certificates and other documents in the Italian citizenship recognition process?
In general, he is the “Honorary Judge of the Court”, ou Giudice Onorario di Tribunale (GOT), in Italian, the person appointed to fulfill this role.
The GOT examines the practice presented by the lawyer and makes a summary so that the judge – the one that appears on the court application – make the decision.
In the Italian legal system, a Honorary Court Judge may be appointed to carry out judicial tasks in specific cases, generally in smaller or simpler cases. As is the case with actions against consulate queues.
Without being a permanent member of the judiciary, Honorary Court Judges serve under the supervision of a regular judge.
The purpose of using Honorary Judges is, in theory, to alleviate the workload of regular judges, increasing the efficiency and agility of the judicial system.
Their tenure in the position is three years, but with the possibility of extension for another three years, once. To qualify for the position, you must have a degree in Law and have specific moral and civil requirements.
The competition is held every three years.
