Talk:Justice of the peace

message: It appears that someone had previously drafted an entry suggesting that any private wedding officiant in Minnesota is commonly called or understood to be a "Justice of the Peace". This is not correct. The office of the Justice of the Peace was abolished by law in 1977 and no private individual should claim the title of a public official. Under State law, certain public officials as well as credentialed clergy may serve to solemnize marriages. In addition, the previous entry made extraneous claims about the status of the Justice of Peace which were not substantiated by any valid source nor supported by law. I deleted the invalid claims and inserted a statement as supported by statutory citations. LAWinans (talk) 00:33, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Are all Justices of the Peace in all the countries mentioned appointed by commission?  I would expect some in the US to be appointed by a local executive, or elected. -- Beland 02:36, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Accuracy question

message: I know that Justices of the Peace in the U.S. were formerly entitled to conduct weddings. Is this still the case? The article says very little about the powers of U.S. Justices of the Peace. --85.74.166.150 22:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I actually came here looking for that very question. More information should be included for Justices of the Peace in the United States. --99.157.108.248 (talk) 17:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Marriage?

message: It is curious that the order of this article does not start with the United Kingdom - and more specifically England, where Justices of the Peace originated. They are in fact one of England's most important social developments, as the qualification for office was that the Justices owned land. It was not enough simply to be wealthy. Consequently, local legal and administrative power resided in the landed gentry, which contributed greatly to social stability and no doubt conservatism, and partly explains why in the United Kingdon, the landed gentry today are still regarded as of a higher social standing than those who are merely wealthy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Herrylaw (talk • contribs) 08:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: *Strong oppose as to moving the "Magistrate" page or combining it with "Justice of the Peace."  They are distinctly different offices in the U.S., and should each have their own pages.  User:Elendil's Heir 11:20pm EST, 9 April 2006.

message: Nothing major needed - probably just needs sections identifying better, e.g. the Australian States are same size font as Australia, countries aren't really geographical or alphabetical - it could just look neater. Ianguy 03:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up request

message: In "Australia" section, this article mentioned:
(paragraph 2) "Generally speaking, a justice of the peace cannot act in relation to a document which is to be used in a foreign country"
(paragraph 3) "Documents which are to be used in a foreign country that does not provide for a foreign JP to witness them should be dealt with by a notary public"
I don't live in Australia, and I am not sure the accuracy of these two sentences. I added 2 "fact" tag for these 2 sentances. It would be great help if anyone adds the citation for these sentences.
Thanks
