It provides a structure to inform the public and a remedy for the public if they're concerned about the conduct of a justice of the peace. It provides a remedy to make that justice of the peace accountable. It provides dispositions to alter that conduct. It provides an educational platform, if you like, so that other justices of the peace know the expectations of what their conduct should be. When we put out the annual report each year, we send a copy of that annual report to every justice of the peace sitting on the bench, so that they have the opportunity to be educated as well. The primary thing is it provides a framework for accountability for judicial conduct that otherwise would not be there.
