Supreme Court may abolish JP court system in West Virginia
The West Virginia Supreme Court may end the justice of the peace system by cutting off its income sources while upholding the constitutional role of JPs. Four major cases challenge JP fees, with two already decided against them. One ruling voids a 50 cent DUI transcript fee, and another case examines a mayor acting as JP who earns a $5 fee on convictions.
