Selected
senior magistrate
n January 2014, there were some 100,000 lay judges in Germany. The largest single group,37,000, were‘senior magistrates’(Hauptschöffen)who sit with professional judges in first and second instance criminal courts. The second largest group, 24,269 in all, are lay judges in labour courts constituted at Land (regional) level, that is first and second instance.

I've also found "main lay judge" but am sceptical. "Senior lay judge"? There are 35 995 lay judges as main lay judges (Hauptschöffen) at criminal courts. Additionally there is an equally large number of substitute lay judges (Hilfsschöffen). These will be called when the main lay judge is unavailable, be it for reasons of illness, relocation to another district or bias. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%2Frm.coe.int%2Feuropean-commission-for-the-efficiency-of-justice-cepej-scheme-for-eva%2F168078afca&clen=281504
