What two posts in the UK are unpaid?

Okay, let's talk about unpaid roles in the UK legal system. The key here is understanding the different levels and types of roles within law enforcement and the judiciary. The UK relies heavily on the concept of civic duty, and this is reflected in the fact that some positions are voluntary. Magistrates, also known as Justices of the Peace, are unpaid volunteers who hear cases in local magistrates' courts. They don't need legal qualifications and are trained to make decisions on a range of issues, from minor crimes to family matters. They are a vital part of the justice system, handling the vast majority of cases. Similarly, Special Constables are volunteer police officers who have the same powers as regular officers. They dedicate their spare time to policing their communities, contributing to law and order without receiving a salary. District Judges and Chiefs of Police, on the other hand, are professional, salaried positions requiring extensive legal training and experience. So, while it might be tempting to think that all law-related roles are paid, the UK system incorporates these important unpaid positions to ensure community involvement and efficient justice.
Remember 'M&S', not as the department store, but as the unpaid roles of Magistrate and Special Constable in the UK.
