Master (also known as Special Master)
A court-appointed individual, usually an attorney, who assists the court in resolving a dispute. Matters related to discovery are typically handled or coordinated by a master, especially when one or both parties fail to comply with discovery requests. A master is not a judge and while his or her have weight and are considered by the court, the judge has final word. See also "Magistrate."
