The duties of a magistrate
The office of the magistrate (also known as justice of the peace or JP) has existed in England and Wales for hundreds of years. People holding the office perform an essential public service by dispensing justice within the criminal justice system and hearing a range of non-criminal cases. Magistrates’ courts are effectively the first tier within our justice system. They comprise:
The Adult Court – for criminal cases involving people over 18. The Youth Court – for cases involving young people aged from 10–17. The Family Proceedings Court – where some family disputes are settled. The Civil Court – for civil cases and other matters like enforcing council tax. Since 2019 I was appointed to be a Crown Court Magistrate.
