BEGINNING OF THE END

This article in today`s Telegraph is just the beginning of another attack but now there is no doubt IMHO that there is a secret paper in some Whitehall desk with outline of new form of justice at your local District Criminal Court.   Mark my words; the magistracy in its current form, as I have posted here many times, will be history within ten years.

    Justice of the Peace, my view is that this is just the somewhat biased view of a barrister whose ideas would be a retrograde step for our legal system. Perhaps he's feathering his own nest. "Magistrates can be self-important"......and barristers can't ??? I bet you've seen a few members of counsel whose performances merit an oscar!

    Magistrates and jurors may well be less "efficient", but it will be a sad day for justice when this argument is allowed to prevail. There are certainly those in the Ministry of Injustice who favour the investigative magistrate approach - or should I say "The Inquisitiion" and the fair minded approach to justice that came with it.
