Trial Court / of First Instance
Letrado refers to the judge(s) having a law degree. Since trial-court judges have law degrees in common-law systems, you can leave “letrado” out of the translation.

Lourdes, I don't think you need to add the "letrado".
"juzgado de primera instancia" is court of first instance or trial court.
Unless "letrado" means that the judge holds a law degree, in USA not all judges hold a law degree. To be a lawyer it is required to pass the BAR exam, which is possible without a Law degree.

Yes. Leave out. Or be creative.
Stipendiary magistrate in England and NZ used to be a paid and legally qualified judge dealing with mionor police offences or offenses and now known as a District Judges. Ord. magistrates need not be legally qualified.
