"Diplom-Rechtspfleger (FH)"
The next few pages provide more information on
- the
duties of German graduate court registrars and - their legal status.
Translater's Note:
The word "Rechtspfleger" cannot be directly translated into English as this profession exists only in Germany. A "Rechtspfleger" might be best described as a kind of graduate court registrar one level lower than a judge. He/she who makes legal decisions in various matters as described on this website, is responsible to the law only and – like a judge - is legally independent and answerable only to the law i.e., he/she is not subject to direction or supervision. A "Rechtspfleger" is normally a graduate of a German degree-granting technical institute which is subject to the supervision of the state.
