How to become a magistrate

Question

Hi can anyone tell me the procedure of becoming a magistrate.

Answer 1

Contact your local magistrates' court - they'll be able to advise you of the next recruiting and procedure. It takes place regularly, but in the meantime, they might invite you to observe sittings and talk to sitting magistrates.

Hope that helps. Good luck

Answer 3

Magistrates are recruited by local Advisory Comittees. Recruitment takes place at different times from area to area, so it is important to check when it is happening in your area. You can telephone your local Advisory Committee to find out when they will be recruiting and discuss any other queries you may have.
