Magistrates
The Magistrate Program was created to assist the Judges by hearing matters in cases involving domestic relations, civil issues, juvenile dependency, and mental health. The Circuit has six magistrates. One magistrate is assigned to Osceola County, one is assigned to the Juvenile Division on Michigan Avenue and the other four serve in Orange County.
The magistrates are attorneys who are appointed by the Chief Judge. Magistrates hear varied types of cases and prepare detailed reports and recommendations to the referring Judges. The magistrates hear several thousand cases each year.
