distribution judge/court
Distribution judge/court: I have translated it this way. I don’t know if this function exists in the judiciary of English-speaking countries. There are several “jueces distribuidores” for each judicial circuit; their function consists of receiving all cases in their respective circuits and subsequently distribute them among the judges of first instance in said judicial circuits.
With respect to “magistrado”: this term means “judge”, and it is used especially when referring to Justices of the Supreme Court (who are not called just “jueces”). On the other hand, and according to Gardner’s Diccionary of Modern Legal Usage, a “magistrate is a judicial officer with strictly limited jurisdiction and authority, often in local level (…).” Just the opposite, as we can see.
Best regards,
Manuel

Ten years ago I suggested this translation, but later I realized that it is not used in English in this way; now I think that “assigning judges” is a better translation.

Within the confines of judicial norms about equal distribution of workload,34 **the assigning judge** may distribute opinions based on the panel members’ special expertise or interest.35 Alternatively, on courts that operate by consensus, panel members may request or express preference for particular topics. Regardless of how it occurs, specialization will manifest itself in the resulting assignment patterns.

Comment: "Thank you for the explanation of the judge's function. I also do not know if the equivalent exists in the U.S., but it is helpful to understand what the term refers to."

arbitrating magistrate
"magistrate" or "arbitrating magistrate" I am not absolutely sure of this, but hope the following information helps.
"Court of First Instance" is the current expression to refer to the first level of judicature.
And judges at this level are called "magistrates".
See The Collins Concise Spanish Dictionary © 1998 HarperCollins Publishers :-
magistrate (n) magistrado m; juez m;
~s' court (in England) juzgado m de primera instancia;
Thus: "Magistrate of the Court of First Instance"
In Australia the settlement of industrial disputes is referred to as "arbitration", and that is how, finally, I get "arbitrating magistrate".

Examining magistrate
There is only civil and criminal courts, at least in the Justice System in Canada but it would be helpful adding what a "Tribunal Laboral" means in Venezuela. The "distribuidor" it's a burocratic term to clarify the judge's role in that specific court.
