The forums are also open to members of the public interested in becoming certified as a JP. The forums will explain processes such as certifying online documents and the limitations on what can be witnessed.

The forums will be hosted by Stuart Driver, current Regional Director of the NSW Justices Association. Mr Driver is well equipped to understand the challenges of regional NSW, having lived in the state his whole life.

The NSW Justices Association has been pushing to bring easier access to JP's into regional areas, particularly in the Riverina.

Mr Driver said "The Association is fortunate to already have a long standing relationship representing Member JPs in the Riverina ... it is hoped to establish this service in Griffith in the near future."

He was looking forward to bringing Justices together to try and build a community.

"It's a process of getting them all together so they can support each other ... One of the things I will explore is whether the JP's of Griffith are interested in forming a group."

Current Justices are strongly encouraged to attend one of the sessions, as a refresher and an opportunity to present any questions or queries.

Mr Driver was also keen to expand the demographics of JPs across the Griffith area.

"Who would I love to see there? Somebody under the age of 82," he joked.

"I'd love to see younger people provide that community service."

The forums will be held on Thursday the 17^th June at the Exies club.
