And I see the lady sitting there is still there wondering if MAGISTRATES' is truly the correct usage. Could it be

I don't understand the question. :-)
If there is only one magistrate, the possessive is "magistrate's". If more than one,

The second 's' is skipped, presumably to make it pronounceable?
