In the adversarial system of UK law, England and Wales, an examining justice is a form of lay judge who presides over the Magistrates Court. They are highly trained and powerful individuals, hand picked by the Lord Justice of the United Kingdom who presides over both summary and either-way offences in the criminal courts as well as family, youth and civil courts.
They have powers of administering unlimited fines, penalties, custodial sentences of up to 12 months, court orders and other warrants such as §135 of the mental health act, or §1 of the Magistrates Court act at their own discretion, either internally or externally to the courtroom.
An examining magistrate will initiate a single justice procedure to sentence a serious offender instead of sitting in a panel. They blur the lines between district judges.
They have powers to authorise wiretaps, sentence at will, commit to the crown court and authorise private investigations. An examining magistrate may also prosecute at their private capacity.

Get the Justicemug. It's true though. Flat IS justice, anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't get the appeal. It's elegant, it's understated, what else can I say? No, I'm not trolling. I frankly don't care if not a single man in the world shares my preferences, flat is justice and that's a fact!
Imagine liking bouncy, buxom, full-figured breasts, like ew. Flat ass and tits are MUCH more elegant looking (not too flat though). Flat is justice.

Get the Flat is justicemug. SJD for short,
The act of issuing hate towards a certain person or group of people who are way too pretentious for their own good while using well thought arguments and reason in order to demolish these pretentious people's "opinions".

Mark: I'm a real Social Justice Demolisher, I just completely rekt a BuzzFeed article about white males that stated that all white males are racist/sexist.
Karen: Oh mark, there should be at least 2 SJD's for every SJW only then can stupidity/ignorance completely die.
