History of the Justice of the Peace Association   jpUS Members      jpUS Code of Ethics       Disclaimer

Origins: 
The JP Association began in 2001 in the State of Connecticut when it was called jpct.org. In 2003, it branched out into neighboring states where Justices of the Peace perform civil ceremonies --  Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire -- and the name was changed to jpUS.org.

Today Justices of the Peace from nearly all towns in Connecticut are listed on the findaJP.com website, with more than 200 having featured listings that come with membership in www.jpUS .org.  Massachusetts JPs are well represented too, followed by New Hampshire, Vermont, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine, the newest states to affiliate. The Association publishes a quarterly e-newsletter for Justices of the Peace, with news and information about governmental and societal developments affecting their duties.
