national judge

A judge appointed by a party to a contentious case at the International Court of Justice when the bench of the Court does not include a judge of that state\'s nationality (sense 2). Thus, when neither party has a judge of its nationality on the bench, each may appoint a national judge. Such a judge does not necessarily have to be (but in fact generally is) of the same nationality as the appointing party. This arrangement is a concession to the fact that, although all judges on the Court sit as independent individuals and not as the representatives of their states, in practice the judges tend to espouse the claims presented by their own states â€“ and national judges do so almost invariably.
