The Chancellor may designate an attorney admitted to practice by the Delaware Supreme Court as a Magistrate in Chancery. A Magistrate in Chancery serves at the pleasure of the Chancellor. A Magistrate in Chancery must not otherwise engage in the practice of law.
Del. R. Ch. Ct. 143
Comment
In 2024, Rule 143 was revised to clarify the Chancellor's authority to appoint Magistrates in Chancery.
No substantive change in the interpretation of the rule was intended, and prior Delaware authorities interpreting the rule remain applicable.
