A “Magistrate” is a type of judge who typically handles minor cases, preliminary hearing matters, and pretrial motions in the criminal justice system. Depending on the jurisdiction, a magistrate might also issue search or arrest warrants, set bail, or preside over cases involving small claims, traffic violations, or misdemeanors.
