Halakhah for Makkot 31:9
אי לר"ש בן לקיש תרי תנאי אליבא דרבי יהודה אי לרבי יוחנן לא קשיא הא דידיה הא דרביה
According to Reish Lakash, there is no difficulty, it is a case of two differing opinion on what Rebbi Yehudah held. According to Rebbi Yochanon, there is no difficulty, one statement [of Rebbi Yehuda's] is his own and one is his rebbi's [Rebbi Yosi Haggilli.
Sefer HaChinukh
And this commandment to administer the laws of those that do magic is practiced by males - since it is fitting [for] and it was given to them to administer justice - and not females. And [this is] specifically in the Land of Israel with ordained judges and in a court of twenty three [judges]. And a court that transgresses - it if it has the power to administer justice - has violated this negative commandment, besides that it violated the positive commandment, which is more generally to administer justice against those that are liable. And there are no lashes for this, as there is no act [involved] with it. And we do not give lashes for any negative commandment with which no act is involved - except for one who takes an oath, a rebel, and one who curses his fellow with the name [of God] (Makkot 16a).
