To explain it to you very briefly, it's something like a mini-judge. They can hear certain matters, but there are other matters they cannot hear. They do sit all day and they do sit as judges, but they're limited. I believe they can't hear a case above $50,000, and there are certain other areas that they cannot hear, but they sit as judges all day long. They do a lot of case management. Many files go through their offices.
