As some have noticed, I haven't put on too many posts of late, due mostly to my slightly dodgy health and to family commitments.. In addition I am weeks away from my enforced retirement as a JP when I hit 70 at the end of October.
I shall keep the blog going as long as people click on to it, and I shall take the chance to say a few things that might have got me into hot water as a magistrate.
Stay tuned, and it might be worth your while. If not, at least it's free!
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.
Relieved to hear that you are still in the land of the living.
ReplyDeletePlease keep it up if you are able. I look forward to the stuff you can put out when your retirement comes around.
ReplyDeleteAhh, we shall at last see the true Bystander...
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work; it's important for informed commentary to be heard in the debate.
Glad you're back, BS.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, looking forward to seeing your thoughts when you are done and dusted with sitting.
ReplyDeleteHaving been a visitor from day one you have taught so much about the law. How it works. Why it sometimes doesn't. Why lenient sentences are not the fault of the courts, but its the guidelines that are at fault.
ReplyDeleteAs a new JP I check this blog daily, and did so even before training, for the valuable 'inside view'. I hope your health improves, and that the blog continues.
