Trainee barrister is youngest Muslim JP

The youngest female Muslim magistrate in the country was sworn in at a ceremony at Bradford Magistrates’ Court. Faiza Ali, 23, of Bradford, was among three new magistrates to join the 265 existing magistrates in Bradford.

Miss Ali is training to become a barrister at the City Law School in London and has given up her time for numerous causes in the past, including being a panel member for the Youth Offending Team. She said she hoped her work as a magistrate and as a barrister would help benefit the City of Bradford and its people.
