According to Mr. Ross: "In past decades, justice court was held in grocery stores, filling stations, living rooms, in a field from a tractor seat, and even at roadside speed traps, but more progressive states have altered that type of justice.

Even Animals Elected "In some localities, the position of justice was held in such low esteem that elections were not contested. In many cases write-in votes won an election for a person who had no knowledge1 of his election until notified. "Many practical jokesters have elected animals with human names as justices in places and in one town some years ago, a wooden Indian was elected as the town justice of the peace.

"Aside from Kentucky, Missouri abolished hundreds of JP courts and set county magistrates on the bench to hear traffic and minor criminal cases.

"New Jersey is another state which took the long step and substituted 1,200 justices of the peace with municipal judges who became part of a thorough judicial reform in the state. Little Regard for Accused "With the exception of some honorable exceptions, most justice courts are held in an haphazard and most informal manner possible, with little regard for the accused.
