Practice restriction on advocates: lawyers appearing in a magistrate's court are barred from serving as magistrate in that court or its local jurisdiction.

The rule disqualifies any advocate who practices in the Court of a Magistrate from sitting as a Magistrate in that same Court or in any Court within the local jurisdiction of that Court, thereby preventing an advocate who appears before a magistrate's court from holding the judicial office of magistrate in that court or in courts within its local jurisdiction.
