Oh Yeah, The Real Judges Do It Too
So I mentioned the money that the JPs get from performing weddings.Well I failed to mention that regular courthouse judges do it to. And no, the County doesn't get a piece of that action either. If they do it in the courthouse they are using resources paid by the electorate.
Sources in the courthouse indicate that some judges send their bailiffs or other court personnel down to the Clerk's floor to get couples to come up to their various courts.
It would be really interesting to see a comprehensive look at the amount of revenue collected by the JPs and real judges on quickie weddings.
To be fair to some of the real judges, there are several that don't charge anything or make it a policy to not charge active duty military personnel.
