Page "Magistrate" Paragraph 6

In Mexico a Magistrado ( magistrate ), is a superior judge ( and the highest-ranking State judge ) hierarchically beneath the Supreme Court Justices ( Ministros de la Corte Suprema ) in the Federal Law System.

The magistrado reviews the cases seen by a judge in a second term, if any of the parties disputes the verdict.

For special cases, there are magistrados superiores ( superior magistrates ) who review the verdicts of special court and tribunal magistrates.
