We're All About Promoting Justice, Building Communities

The Lay Magistrates’ Association of Jamaica (LMAJ) is a registered non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting justice, fostering good citizenship, and creating stronger communities throughout Jamaica. Representing Justices of the Peace and Lay Magistrates from towns and villages across the island, we strive to ensure that ethical and moral standards are upheld in every service we provide.

 

Our collective efforts focus on providing fair, accessible, and effective justice solutions that contribute to a more harmonious society.

LMAJ Story - A Legacy of Justice and Community Impact

Founded with a commitment to enhancing the justice system in Jamaica, the LMAJ has grown into a trusted organization recognized for its impactful community service. From its inception, our mission has been to bridge the gap between the formal justice system and the needs of everyday citizens. By introducing structured approaches to Alternative Justice Services, we’ve helped thousands of individuals and families resolve conflicts, find support, and achieve lasting solutions to their challenges.

​

​Over the years, we’ve established ourselves as a cornerstone of trust within communities, earning the respect of stakeholders and citizens alike. The dedication of our members—respected residents who hold high ethical and moral values—has been the driving force behind our success. With each service rendered, we aim to empower communities, reduce the burden on the courts, and promote a culture of peace and mutual understanding.
