28 U.S.C. § 631 — Appointment and tenure

**(a)** The judges of each United States district court and the district courts of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands shall appoint United States magistrate judges in such numbers and to serve at such locations within the judicial districts as the Judicial Conference may determine under this chapter. In the case of a magistrate judge appointed by the district court of the Virgin Islands, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands, this chapter shall apply as though the court appointing such a magistrate judge were a United States district court. Where there is more than one judge of a district court, the appointment, whether an original appointment or a reappointment, shall be by the concurrence of a majority of all the judges of such district court, and when there is no such concurrence, then by the chief judge. Where the conference deems it desirable, a magistrate judge may be designated to serve in one or more districts adjoining the district for which he is appointed. Such a designation shall be made by the concurrence of a majority of the judges of each of the district courts involved and shall specify the duties to be performed by the magistrate judge in the adjoining district or districts. **(b)** No individual may be appointed or reappointed to serve as a magistrate judge under this chapter unless: (1) He has been for at least five years a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court of a State, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United States, except that an individual who does not meet the bar membership requirements of this paragraph may be appointed and serve as a part-time magistrate judge if the appo

Page 190 TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 515 shall notify the Attorney General, giving all facts necessary to enable him to furnish proper professional service in attending the examina- tion or making the investigation, and the Attor- ney General shall provide for the service. (Added Pub. L. 89–554, § 4(c), Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 613.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Derivation U.S. Code Revised Statutes and Statutes at Large ..................... 5 U.S.C. 48. R.S. § 187. ..................... 5 U.S.C. 313. R.S. § 364. Sections 187 and 364 of the Revised Statutes are com- bined into one section since they both deal with the same subject matter and are derived from the Act of Feb. 14, 1871, ch. 51, § 3, 16 Stat. 412. The words ‘‘executive department’’ are substituted for ‘‘Department’’ because ‘‘Department’’, as used in R.S. §§ 187 and 364, meant ‘‘executive department’’. (See R.S. § 159.) The word ‘‘agency’’ is substituted for ‘‘bu- reau’’ as it has a more common current acceptance. The word ‘‘concerning’’ is substituted for ‘‘touching’’. Reference to application for a subpena is omitted as R.S. § 364 gives the department head the same authority to request aid from the Attorney General whether or not application has been made for a subpena. Section 187 of the Revised Statutes was part of title IV of the Revised Statutes. The Act of July 26, 1947, ch. 343, § 201(d), as added Aug. 10, 1949, ch. 412, § 4, 63 Stat. 579 (former 5 U.S.C. 171–1), which provides ‘‘Except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Act [National Security Act of 1947], the provisions of title IV of the Revised Statutes as now or hereafter amended shall be applicable to the Department of Defense’’ is omitted from this title but is not repealed.
