In England and Wales stipendiary magistrates are professional lawyers who are paid (receive a stipend) to perform the duties otherwise done by unpaid lay magistrates (justices of the peace). In some major cities, such as London, all the magistrates are stipendiary.
The pay for magistrates can vary depending on the jurisdiction. In the United States, for example, federal magistrate judges are paid an annual salary, not per sitting. In other countries, magistrates may receive a per diem rate or a fixed fee per sitting. The exact amount also depends on factors such as experience, location, and seniority.
