According to Wikipedia, Justitiarius (av latin, rettferdighet) er tittelen på formannen i Høyesterett.
Tidligere ble formannen i byrettene titulert byrettsjustitiarius, men siden 2002 er tittelen her bestemt til å være sorenskriver, på samme måte som det var i herredsrettene.
That means that a better term since 2002 would be:
President of the Court,
Circuit Judge or
District Stipendiary Magistrate

agree  David Siebert: And City Court is the expression that Chaffey uses in his Norwegian English Legal Dictionary. County Court would not actually be correct.

Chief Judge of the City Court


Explanation:
"City court" is indeed correct -- see the link below to a judgment from EFTA as an example. "Chief Justice" is used these days primarily for appellate judges, not judges at lower level courts.

I found an official translation of "justitiarius" of the byrett as "judge president." See page 23 (in the original) at http://www.hamline.edu/law/registrar/pages/syllabi/summer200...
Jeffrey deserves the credit here for pointing toward "president."

President (E&W: Senior Master) of the City Of Oslo Court


Explanation:
I've used the Chief Justice translation before now, though am doubtful that there can be a (Lord) Chief Justice of a first-instance court - rather a President, Senior Registrar or Master. There is no reason why the QBD the High Court - at the Royal Courts of Justice in London - can't act as a first-instance court in arbitration. In fact, its Court of Construction does.

I don't know whether Patrick Chaffey is Scottish or American and is aware of the E&W County Court Registrar vs. High Court Master collocations.



Example sentence(s):
  • Queen's Bench Division - Senior Master; Chancery Division - Chief Chancery Master; Costs Office - Senior Costs Judge; Bankruptcy Court - Chief Bankruptcy ...
  • The Court is situated in Guildhall Yard and the address is. The Mayor's and City of London Court Guildhall Buildings Basinghall Street London EC2V 5AR ...
