Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Spanish term or phrase:
Magistrado Procurador fiscal
English translation:
(US) Chief State's Attorney; Senior/ (gen.) District Prosecutor/ (E&W) Prosecuting Treasury Counsel/ (Scots) Procurator Fiscal
Spanish term
Magistrado Procurador fiscal
There is another entry: procurador fiscal = prosecutor, prosecuting attorney (but it does not include "Magistrado")

My understanding is in US law, a "Magistrate" is the lowest judge there is, confirms arrests and hears arraignments, but not trials.
In Latin American law, a "Magistrado" is always a higher court judge, and in English this would be "Justice".
PROCURADOR FISCAL - I understand this would be "attorney general or public prosecutor" (depending on the context)?

cf. the Solicitor-General of Ireland as a deputy to the A-G.
In E&W, in divorce, the Queen's (soon to be King's) Proctopr (Treasury Solicitor) used to step in to stop a divorce nisi being made absolute if there were grounds for suspicion.
Quaere; the reason for this Law Officer's intervention is a civil (?) case for a Demanda en Reparación de Daños, unless a case of criminal injury or damage.

: Sí, no debe ser "magistrate". Un gusto verlo por acá de nuevo, Sr. Adrian. No entiendo la idea de haber creado varios perfiles anteriores y después eliminarlos (Christy Mac, Tom Thumb). No tiene lógica. Yo creé mi perfil en 2006 y sigue siendo el mismo.

Gracias, Wilsonn (I like the spelling of your name) Well-spotted! Me tocaba evitar los palos maliciosos, o sea - como dicen otros abogados y notarios ingleses: 'Tiresome snipers from the sidelines (and wings)'- plus answers 'ought to stand on their own'.

Discussion
The “fiscal” part seems to be essential also, because they have a “Magistrado Procurador General” as well as a “Magistrado Procurador General Tributario y Administrativo”
