Why not
consider applying to become a Magistrate? Currently in the N16
postcode there is only one Magistrate appointed, and more are
needed. The Judiciary is endeavouring to recruit more people as
Justices of the Peace and to reflect the diversity of the
community.
It is an institution that was first formed by King Richard 1 (Lionheart)
in 1195 with Knights as ‘Keepers of the Peace’. It was then,
and remains today, an unpaid vocation. However, expenses
and subsistence are paid. Visit www.dca.gov.uk
and click on ‘Magistrates’ for more on thehistory and also
on how to apply.
If you fancy visiting the local Magistrates
Court at 58 Bow Road (with its own unique history of
processing criminals around the River Thames)
to view justice at work, and see if it may be your thing, call 020
8271 1200.
