RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Preliminary List of "Roles" in LegalProceedings
From the programming point of view, the titles and roles are separate in the federal courts' case management database. A more common case is a retired judge becomes an attorney and represents a client in a case. The judge retains his/her title, but plays different role in different cases. Also, under the party, there are different "party roles" in a case.
