Abstract
The linchpin of the administration of justice by part-time magistrates is the justices’ clerk. He is chief executive and administrator of the court and also its legal adviser. (Where there are Stipendiary Magistrates the same clerk serves them and the justices, but until 1974 there were certain areas where separate clerks to the stipendiaries were appointed under local Acts.)
