Of course a magistrates core role is, and will remain as judicial office-holders, dispensing justice for the benefit of the communities they serve.
They hear misdemeanor cases and conduct preliminary examinations in felony cases. In criminal cases they issue and record affidavits, complaints, arrest warrants, and search warrants, as well as set bail and make decisions concerning proposed plea agreements, the collection of courts costs, cash bonds, and fines.
They include driving offences, vandalism, criminal damage of low value, low-level violent offences and being drunk and disorderly. This kind of 'lesser' criminality will be dealt with in summary proceedings at a magistrates' court, where the defendant has no right to a jury trial and no formal indictment is necessary.

At the Magistrates' Court, your trial will be heard either by a District Judge or by a bench of lay Magistrates.The Magistrates or the District Judge decides on matters of law (for example whether evidence is admissible) and fact (for example have you done what the prosecution say you have done?).
The magistrate courts are trial courts of limited jurisdiction. There are 158 magistrates in West Virginia. They issue warrants and protective orders, hear misdemeanor cases and minor civil cases, and conduct some preliminary reviews.
If you intend to appeal a decision of the family court you must normally do so within 21 days of the decision (unless the judge who gave the decision provided a different time limit). You need the court's permission to appeal. You can request permission from the judge who made the decision.
A party aggrieved by a final order of a family court may file a petition for appeal to the circuit court no later than thirty days after the family court final order was entered in the circuit clerk's office.
The supreme court can overrule a Court of Appeals decision. Trials are heard with a 12-member jury and usually one or two alternate jurors. But a judge may preside without a jury if the dispute is a question of law rather than fact.
