A Judge is appointed by Colorado's Governor, except in home ruled cities and counties like Denver and Broomfield. The Judge serves for a period of years until a retention election.
A Magistrate is hired by the Chief Judge, and may have limited jurisdiction, such as not being able to preside over jury trials. A Magistrate can be fired like any other employee.
