Connecticut Consents to Magistrate Judge is a legal document that is signed by parties involved in a civil case, allowing the case to be decided by a United States Magistrate Judge in the District of Connecticut instead of a United States District Judge. This document allows a party to waive their right to have the case heard by a district judge and instead allows a magistrate judge to hear the case and render a decision. There are two types of Connecticut Consent to Magistrate Judge: Voluntary Consent and Involuntary Consent. Voluntary Consent is when both parties agree to have the case heard by a magistrate judge, while Involuntary Consent is when only one party agrees to have the case heard by a magistrate judge.
