A magistrate can handle criminal, and civil matters. He is hired for his position to alleviate some of the burdon on the judges he sits in for. Most of the time though he can only do what the origanal judge tells him to do. Most of the time he can not make important decisions without prior permission or instructions. Basicaly he is no more than a front man for cases the original judge feels he is too good or busy to be bothered with.

Why we go to magistrate?
It depends on the country and what kind of magistrate. In the US, a magistrate can refer to two different things. They can be a civil magistrate. For small claims court, the civil magistrate acts as the "judge." In civil court, the civil magistrate files the case for the judge, if I'm not mistaken. For criminal court, the magistrate is the one whom charges are filed with. What happens next depends on the type of crime. If it is a misdemeanor, the magistrate passes control to a prosecutor (often an assistant district attorney). If it is a felony, the magistrate passes control to the grand jury. The magistrate also decides the bail and custody arrangements until a judge decides otherwise.
