Welcome to the Magistrates’ Association
The independent voice of the magistracy
We support magistrates who want to keep their skills up to date and want the magistracy’s voice to be heard.
With over 80% of magistrates as members, we are the only independent organisation in England and Wales advocating on behalf of the magistracy. We are fully governed and funded by our members.
We support local and national networking, provide free training and guidance and represent the magistracy at the highest levels of government.
