Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Eynati: ס"נ is NOT deputy: sgan is deputy, abbreviated ס'. And what is 'chief judge'? That's Heblish, a literal translation of shofet rashi.

disagree  Smantha: I'm sorry, the term means "vice president" or "סגנית נשיא" as it appears in that particular judge profile.

  -> that`s right, but I am not sure this is the term you use in this particular field
