A rare insight and celebration of the magistracy, Our Magistracy sets out its core role and values and identifies mistakes by politicians, administrators, bureaucrats and others. By a former chairman of the Magistrates Association of England and Wales. In this thoroughly informed account of the magistracy the author deals with key issues touching on that institution. Focussing on what Lord Bingham, Lord Chief Justice, described as a ‘democratic jewel beyond price’, he explains its rationale, goals and over-riding values. Dealing with major developments, economics, management, day-to-day practicalities and changing times the author casts an experienced eye over summary justice, law and order and its fascinating history of local administration. Describing the magistracy as a great national institution, independent, respected and a true people’s court, John Hosking nevertheless decries a halving of its size, closure of courthouses, remote services and increasing reliance on professional judges rather than community volunteers. Though much has changed for the better to increase competency, meet criticism and maintain integrity, the book explains how other developments have challenged the very status of the lay magistracy and made inroads into one of the most cherished principles of our democracy: public participation in the justice system. Extracts ‘It … ill-behoves politicians and reformers to support actions which may be designed to improve the justice system as a whole, but which devalue the magistracy in the process. Likewise, the sustainability of the magistracy can only be assured if the popular demands of the present … are met without compromising the future of the whole institution.’ ‘In addition to its unquestioned integrity and independence, the most persuasive reason for having a lay magistracy is that … it manifestly does a good job at a very low cost.’

The study of Roman republican magistracy has traditionally been the preserve of historians posing constitutional and prosopographical questions. As a result, one fundamental aspect of our most detailed contemporary and near-contemporary sources about magistracy has remained largely neglected: their literariness. This book takes a new approach to the representation of magistrates and shows how the rhetorical and formal features of prose texts - principally Livy's history but also works by Cicero and Sallust - shape our understanding of magistracy. Applying to the texts an expanded concept of exemplarity, Haimson Lushkov shows how a rich body of anecdotes concerning the behaviour and speech of magistrates reflects on the values and tensions that defined the republic. A variety of contexts - familial, military, and electoral, among others - flesh out the experience of being, becoming, and encountering a Roman magistrate, and the political and ethical problems highlighted and negotiated in such circumstances.

Excerpt from Our Chief Magistrate: And His Powers The six chapters included in this book were originally delivered by Mr. Taft at Columbia University, during the winter session of 1915-16, as the Blumenthal Lectures, under the general title: "The Presidency, Its Powers, Duties, Responsibilities and Limitations." With this title, in accordance with the usual custom, they were also presently announced by the Columbia University Press as a forthcoming publication. Since a similar title had already been given to a course of three lectures delivered by Mr. Taft at the University of Virginia, in the academic year 1914-15, the publication of which had been undertaken by Charles Scribner's Sons, the title of this volume has been changed, at the author's suggestion, to its present form.

Welcome to the world of magistracy, where justice is served, decisions are made, and lives are impacted. In this book, we will embark on a journey through the intricacies of magistracy, exploring the diverse cases, ethical considerations, impact on individuals and communities, challenges, rewards, and the significance of this vital role in the United Kingdom's justice system. Magistrates hold a position of great responsibility, entrusted with the task of dispensing justice and upholding the rule of law. They preside over a wide range of cases, from minor offences to more serious matters, making decisions that can shape the lives of individuals and the well-being of the community. Their role requires a delicate balance of fairness, impartiality, and integrity, as they navigate the complexities of the legal system. In this book, we will delve into the diverse cases that magistrates handle, ranging from criminal offences to civil disputes. We will explore the ethical considerations that guide their decision-making process, such as fairness, impartiality, and integrity. Understanding these principles is crucial in ensuring that justice is served and public trust is maintained.

When Trevor Grove was called up for Jury service he became so intrigued with the justice system that he wrote a successful book about it - The Juryman's Tale. Now he's joined the magistracy and gives a fascinating, funny and insightful account of just how the magistracy works at a time of great change. Lay magistrates deal with more than 95 per cent of all criminal cases in England and Wales, yet they are all volunteers, drawn from local communities, with no legal training or special qualifications, and are not paid a penny for what they do. Astonishingly little is known about what it is like to serve as a magistrate. (Each year 5,000 people apply to become magistrates; only 25 per cent are successful.) This book is the first for many years to shed light on the experience. Interweaving his own personal experience of becoming a magistrate in north London with general observations, relevant interviews and a little history, Trevor Grove takes us on a fascinating journey into this extraordinary and unique institution. He has visited courts all over the country to talk to magistrates and observe how crimes and criminals differ from region to region, and how the 'benches' dealing with them differ too. He has visited jails and Young Offenders' Institutions and he has interviewed all of the principal players, from the Lord Chief Justice and Home Secretary, to more integral characters such as justices' clerks, ushers, probation officers, local police and offenders. His journey uncovers a remarkable act of national faith in the good sense of ordinary people, which says a great deal more about the strength and health of our democracy than is sufficiently appreciated.
