In general, magistrates and judges have the same judicial presence, but with slightly different roles.

🔎Same general authority at hearings, ruling on objections, and determining the outcome EXCEPT

🚨A judge has more power than a magistrate

🚨Appealing the decision of a judge, requires the filing of the appeal with the next highest court with more time to do so

🚨Appealing a decision from a magistrate, requires a party to appeal it to a Circuit Court judge through a process called exceptions and do so within a very short window of time after recommendations are issued (10 days).

📍In Maryland, a MAGISTRATE

📌is appointed by the Circuit Court for the county where they are located

📌is usually an attorney with an extensive amount of family law experience

📌takes testimony from parties and conclude the main issues present and submit findings to a judge for final approval
