The term magistrate is used in a variety of systems of governments and laws to refer to a civilian officer who administers the law. In ancient Rome,a magistratus was one of the highest ranking government officers,and possessed both judicial and executive powers. In other parts of the world,such as China,a magistrate was responsible for administration over a particular geographic area. Today,in some jurisdictions,a magistrate is a judicial officer who hears cases in a lower court,and typically deals with more minor or preliminary matters. In other jurisdictions,magistrates are typically trained volunteers appointed to deal with criminal and civil matters in their local areas.

The judicial system of Syria is a synthesis of Ottoman,French,and Islamic laws. The civil,commercial and criminal codes are primarily based on the French legal practices. Promulgated in 1949,those laws have special provisions sanctioned to limit application of customary law among beduin and religious minorities. The Islamic religious courts continue to function in some parts of the country,but their jurisdiction is limited to issues of personal status,such as marriage,divorce,paternity,custody of children,and inheritance. Nonetheless,in 1955 a personal code pertaining to many aspects of personal status was developed. This law modified and modernized sharia by improving the status of women and clarifying the laws of inheritance.
