Partierna nominerar kandidater till nämndemän. Vem väljer nämndemän till tingsrätten i bildens nästa steg?
Parties nominate lay judge candidates. Who elects district court lay judges in the diagram's next step?
Correct answer: The municipal council
The municipal council elects district court lay judges following nomination. In court, they must judge impartially under the law rather than represent their party.
