To see all the useful information and exclusive members-only content on our website, you’ll need to be an MA member and have a website account and password. Read on to find out how to register for a website account.
Registering for a website account
Having a website account will enable you to access our exclusive member-only content, including our member-only blogs, news stories, many of our events, and the digital version of Magistrate, our quarterly magazine.
When you register, if you provide information on your jurisdiction and magistrate interests, you will be able to see articles and other content based on your interests. You’ll also be able to:
- Edit your personal details
- Amend or renew your membership
- Change your payment details and Gift Aid declaration
- Update your communication and content preferences—this is really important so that we can ensure you’re receiving the content you most enjoy via your preferred means of communication
- View your branch webpage
- Sign up to attend national and local MA events.
Registering is very easy, and should take you no more than two minutes. There are two options available:
1. If you had an account on our old website (which we closed in mid-2023), please:
- Visit https://www.magistrates-association.org.uk/login
- Enter the email address we hold for you in the ‘username’ field
- Click on the ‘forgot password’ button
You will then be sent an email containing a link to create a new password—please check your junk folder if this email doesn’t appear in your inbox. Follow the instructions in that email and you’ll be all set!
2. If you did NOT have an account on our old site, please email [email protected] and we’ll set you up with an account.
Finally, if you’re an MA volunteer, you should also be able to view our ‘volunteer zone’, in which you’ll be able to see a wealth of resources and tips to help you in your role, easily update your branch webpage, and manage your local branch membership via our new branch portal. You should have received instructions on how to use the zone when you became a volunteer, but if you didn’t, or can’t find them, please email [email protected] and we can send them to you again.
