Justices of the Peace Hoped to be Easier to Find

BY GEMMA FERGUSON

An online Justices of the Peace register is being upgraded to make it easier for people to find a JP when they need one.

Attorney General, Mark Speakman, announced the new system yesterday, which will show JP's postcodes and identify those who speak foreign languages.

"The revamped register will enable JPs to include their contact details and the dates and times they're available," he said.

With more than 95000 JPs statewide, tracking one down is your local area has been difficult.
