Justice of the Peace

Sadie you are correct.



In some states the Justice of the Peace was renamed to be called the Magistrate. However, I do believe each state has to have one ot the other. To not have one at all would be tragic for the state and not to mention unconstitutional. I am not fully positive about this but my research is leading me to think this is the case.



Hopefully I will find something in writing other than the constitution.
