German term or phrase: Audienzrichteramt
This is an office within the Bezirksgericht Zürich, but there is no helpful context, only that the office is one of two Appellees in a very complex action. Is the Audienzrichter a hearing examiner or Administrative Law Judge? Black's says these are the older and newer terms respectively denoting "generally, a civil service employee of an administrative agency whose responsibility is to conduct hearings on matters within the agency's jurisdiction." Can anyone familiar with the Swiss legal system comment on this and suggest a U.S. English equivalent? Thanks.

In the cited court there is only one \"hearing judge,\" viz., the Audienzrichter. He hears summary cases, perhaps much like a justice or justice of the peace court in the US.
