What our members say
Hear from some of our members about the benefits of joining the MA

“Sitting on the MA's Youth Courts Committee I'm actively involved in defining the policies and practices of our work with young people. The role enables me to reflect the views of local magistrates at national level.”
-
“I see the MA as an essential contributor to the future workings of a successful criminal justice system. I'm happy to be part of an organisation that represents the best interests of the magistracy.”
-
“The MA works hard to keep me up to date and informed about everything that is relevant to me being a magistrate. It is an organisation that I both feel very well supported by, and one that I feel very keen to support.”
