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.

Balancing Act
Judge David Fletcher, who resides at the North Liverpool 'Community Justice Centre' got a gong in the New Year Honours. He is an unusual judicial creature, who morphs at will from a District Judge to a Circuit Judge. I suspect that one of his greatest achievements is to be a 'community' judge in an area that includes the Liverpool and Everton grounds. I heard him speak once, and he said that he receives frequent invitations to sit in the Directors' Box at both grounds, and sometimes accepts, but has to be, shall we say, diplomatic as to his preferences.
