Abstract
This article discusses the constitutionality of creating non Article III courts and judges and the reasoning behind their creation. The focus of the article is how previous cases from the Supreme Court determined the status and constitutionality of magistrate judges. A few of the examples discussed relates to courts in the District of Columbia and bankruptcy courts. The article further analyzes a few of the main reasons behind the creation of these courts, such as topics and/or geography that need specialized courts and judges, and the justification of case load burdens on district courts. The article ends by stating that it is unclear whether magistrate courts and judges are actually constitutional, but that there are many reasons to believe that they are unconstitutional.
