Magistrates typically have two types of major functions: to preside in court hearings for bail bonds, or to preside in minor civil and criminal actions, generally small claims court or in criminal proceedings with minimal maximum penalties. In bond court a magistrate has the right to decide if there is enough probable cause to send the case to its proper court of jurisdiction, and to assign any reasonable bail according to the law.

The manorial courts had jurisdiction over most legal cases on the manor. The most serious crimes were sent to royal courts for trial, but other crimes and disagreements were dealt with local, by the manorial court. The court was under the authority of the lord of the manor, and was administered by court officers. The legal system was common law. Records of manorial courts are not complete, and there is some disagreement as to whether there were two types, the court leet and the court baron, or whether these were the same thing.
