Question

What is a Magistrate ?

Answer

Often used to refer to a municipal court judge, but  A.R.S. § 1-215 provides a broad definition that includes all judicial officers with power to issue a warrant for arrest: includes a Supreme Court justice and judges of the superior, justice and municipal courts.
