Musings and Snippets from a recently retired JP. I served for 31 years, mostly in west London. I was Chairman of my Bench for some years, and a member of the National Bench Chairmen's Forum All cases are based on real ones, but anonymised and composited. All opinions are those of one or more individuals. JPs swear to enforce the law of the land, whether or not they approve of it. Nothing on here constitutes legal advice.

Snippet
Man takes oath. Usher hands card to him, but he hands it back with an apologetic smile - "sorry sir, I can't read." Before the usher had time to read the words to him the man looked at me and said brightly: "I can speak Latin though." Noting my stunned look he said: "it was a Catholic school I went to."
