What is a commissioner in the court system?
I have a court case and the lady I am going in front of is a commissioner what is a commissioner anyway?
Answers:
Someone designated (commissioned) to hear evidence on a particular issue and make recommendations (supposedly based on the law) to the judge. If you disagree with the recommendations you can object to the court & usually get the matter re-heard by the judge.
Editorial opinion: Courts being government agencies, it is only understandable that the last thing people paid to hear cases want to do is actually hear cases. So they off load the work to a whole new category of people -- who have to be paid for doing the same job judges are paid to do.
