 Magistrate judges are appointed to assist federal district court judges in the performance of their duties. While district judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate for lifetime tenure, magistrate judges are appointed by a majority vote of the federal district judges of a particular district and serve terms of eight years if full-time, or four years if part-time, and may be reappointed.(([[wp>United States magistrate judge]], retrieved 10/3/16.)) Magistrate judges are appointed to assist federal district court judges in the performance of their duties.

---> Opinions of Federal Magistrate Judge Charles F. Eick#+--> How Attorneys Rate Magistrate Judge Eick# 
 +Apart from the aggregate rating, each paragraph below is from a different commenter. \\ 
 > Rating: 6.2/10 \\ \\ Magistrate Eick can be a little "rough" in his handling of attorneys to the point of bordering on being rude. However, he is very bright and seems to grasp the issues easily and to have done all the homework necessary to handle complex issues. Make sure you have your "t"s crossed and "i"s dotted however. \\ \\ Very wrong on numerous areas of law, particularly [Federal Rules of Civil Procedure]. Biased and thinks it doesn't even matter when dealing with those he disagrees with. \\ \\ Judge Eick is what a federal judge should be: extremely bright, thoughtful and hard-working. A true credit to the bench.  \\ \\ I had a settlement conference with him in late 2011. It was a painful 4 hours. He seemed very old and tired, and crotchety. He spent hours questioning the parties about the case, getting the facts straight. Then, did nothing with all those facts he gathered. I don't think he is capable of getting out of judge-mode and into settlement officer mode. \\ \\ He is rude as part of a right-wing approach to litigation which holds that the king (corporations and the government, as against the little guy and gal) can do no wrong in his courtroom. He is quick to sanction …' attorneys. \\ \\ He is a very bright, fair, compassionate jurist.(([[http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1484|Rating: Hon. Charles F.
