The Royal Association of Justices is the official association for Justices of the Peace in South Australia and represents its members in policy and administrative matters relevant to the role and function of Justices of the Peace. The Association consists of a Board elected by its members, presided over by a President, elected by the Board, and an administrative office for the conduct of the business of the Association. The role of the Association is to represent its members for the furtherance of the services Justices of the Peace provide to the community. A significant contribution is the co-ordination of members in providing Justices of the Peace within Court Precincts, Local Government Offices, Correctional Institutions and Libraries in various roles. To ensure that appropriate standards are maintained, the Association provides its members with the opportunity for training and development in the various duties of the Justice of the Peace and the delivery of these services to the community. Justices Groups are formed under the Constitution and Rules of the Royal Association of Justices and provide a tangible link between the members of the Group and the Board of the Association.
