I had a very interesting and informative day in the Magistrates Court in Wolverhampton, hosted by Steven Cartlidge JP.
I spent time in each of the four Courts that were operating on the day and had conversations with 2 of the Judges and a few of the JPs who were hearing a range of different cases. It was interesting to note the increasing use of technology to support the court activities but I also saw some of the logistical challenges that exist within the Justice system which can impact on its ability to operate efficiently.
