In the year 2017, the 14,000 magistrates in England and Wales handled nearly 1.4 million cases. But who are these magistrates, and what do they do? Are they out-of-touch and unrepresentative, or do they still have a role to play in today's increasingly sophisticated and complex judicial system? The Secret Magistrate takes readers on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey through a year in the life of an inner-city magistrate. The book covers a wide range of cases, including the disqualified driver who fled the courtroom, the Sunbed Pervert, and Fifi the Attack Chihuahua. The foreword is written by Malcolm Richardson OBE, who served as Chair of the Magistrates Association from 2015 to 2017. All royalties from the sale of The Secret Magistrate will be donated to charity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 374g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 x 197 x 21 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781838099008                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anonymous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095296536826,"sku":"9781838099008","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/b189c4dedc0167780056ce3c16da7b9f.jpg?v=1621123624","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/secret-magistrate","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
