Magistrates in the Community Group

  Community Groups

 

The MIC Project has, as one of its main aims, the raising of awareness of the work of the lay magistracy at the local court level.

It does this by making presentations to local community groups be they, for example professional associations, business-based groups, women's organisations, residents' associations or religiously-based groups- many of which are constantly on the look out for speakers with interesting talks to give.

MIC presenters - all magistrates - will make visits to these groups to explain:

What magistrates do
How magistrates are appointed
The business of local magistrates' courts
Magistrates' sentencing powers
How verdicts and sentencing decisions are reached

and will offer

Sentencing exercises of case studies taken from real life
Visits to the local court
