Magistrate Courts conduct arraignments in both felony and misdemeanor cases; arraignments include entry of pleas, plea agreements, and setting of bond. Further action in felony cases is in Circuit Court, but misdemeanor cases are tried in Magistrate Court. Magistrate Courts also handle violations of municipal ordinances if there is no Municipal Court with jurisdiction. Details may be found at the related links below.

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.
