  Nope. There's no such thing here.

  If I'm not completely msitaken, usually a judge and a panel of three
so-called lay judges. In more difficult cases the panel may be expanded
with one or two experts.

  The lay judges are elected by the city council (or something like that,
I'm not completely sure) in 4-year terms.

  In very trivial cases simpler setups may be used.
