· She tells us about the difference between magistrates and judges and why we have magistrates
· The type of cases they hear
· Why it’s important to have magistrates who are representative of their community
· What happens if children need to appear in Magistrates' Courts
When Katherine was 10 years old, she was very curious about the world and really liked stories and wanted to be a journalist, as she loved writing and liked the idea of finding out the truth.
