Magistrates are the unsung heroes of the criminal justice system, and it's fair to say that justice would grind to a halt without them. We're the Magistrates' Association – the membership body for England and Wales's magistrates – and we’re here to give magistrates a voice and to support them to be the very best magistrates they can be. We work with members and collaborate with the judiciary and across the wider legal industry to develop policy and to advocate for change on behalf of our members.
