Mr Garry Nicholls, JP was invited to be our speaker to bring insights of Justice of Peace. His 28-year JP track record distinguished a presence to walk us through what JP is actually doing, how to becoming a JP, its diversity, as well as the challenges to face.
A book title of "Reading the Riot Act" summarising 200 years history of Justice of the Peace in New Zealand, presented the cultural and social changes which has been always demanding the service value of JP to cope with; therefore becoming a Justice of Peace is never easy with high entry barrier through rounds of assessment but also a continuous learning to reflecting the diversified cultural needs to better serve the public.
