What is the role of a JP?

The role of the JP is to act as an independent and objective witness to documents people use for official or legal purposes. For example, a JP may:

• Attest the execution of a document
• Witness an affidavit for use in court
• Witness a statutory declaration
• Certify a true copy of an original document
• Certify a person’s identity

Who are Special Justices?

Special Justices sit in the Magistrates and Youth Courts to hear minor matters.

To become a Special Justice a person must be a JP and be selected to complete a TAFE SA course designed for Special Justices.

If you are a JP and interested in becoming a Special Justice, please contact Justice of the Peace Services to check your eligibility.

How do I make a complaint?

Complaints against JPs who breach the Code of Conduct must be made in writing and lodged with Justice of the Peace Services.
