Usage notes
- Usually collective and institutional: la magistratura means the judiciary or body of judges/prosecutors, not one individual magistrate.
- Do not confuse with magistrato, the person. English magistrate often translates as giudice or magistrato depending on the legal system.
- Common in legal, journalistic, and formal contexts. In everyday speech, people often name the specific role instead.
