(a) In every county receiving the services of a circuit court and wherein a circuit court judge does not reside, there may be one (1) full-time magistrate who shall meet the qualifications under W.S. 5-9-201.
(b) Upon determination by the supreme court after consultation with the appropriate board of county commissioners, that a full-time magistrate is necessary, all of the circuit judges whose circuit includes the county together shall agree upon a person to fill the office of a full-time magistrate under subsection (a) of this section. The name of the agreed upon person shall be submitted for approval or rejection to the board of county commissioners of the county wherein the full-time magistrate will serve. Upon approval by the board, the circuit court shall appoint the person as a magistrate as provided in W.S. 5-9-202.
(c) When a vacancy occurs in the office of a full-time magistrate, the supreme court shall determine whether a full-time magistrate shall be appointed.

If the supreme court after consultation with the appropriate board of county commissioners, determines that a full-time magistrate shall not be appointed, one (1) or more part-time magistrates shall be appointed as provided in W.S. 5-9-210.
