CAPABILITY CARD · Legal

The Judges, Magistrate Judges, and Magistrates capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 24,030 judges, magistrate judges, and magistrates in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten judges, magistrate judges, and magistrates wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Sentence defendants in criminal cases, on conviction by jury, according to applicable government statutes.
Duty 02
Monitor proceedings to ensure that all applicable rules and procedures are followed.
Duty 03
Instruct juries on applicable laws, direct juries to deduce the facts from the evidence presented, and hear their verdicts.
Duty 04
Write decisions on cases.
Duty 05
Read documents on pleadings and motions to ascertain facts and issues.
Duty 06
Rule on admissibility of evidence and methods of conducting testimony.
Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 24,030 judges, magistrate judges, and magistrates earn a median of $153,990 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $576M in All Other Legal Services contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
