Hello All, how should one refer to magistrates when writing position statements? Justices? Magistrates? Eg: "When challenged by the Justices to offer the Father an alternative, the Mother...etc". I can find lots online about how to refer to JPs in Court but not in writing. Thank you!

IF you are referring to an individual magistrate, then it would be "John Doe, Esq JP", if collectively, then it would be "their Worships, the Magistrates".
