Are notaries the same as justices of the peace?
No. There are no justices of the peace in Florida, as the office was abolished in the 1970s. Justices of the Peace were, for all practical purposes, judges in small-claims issues and officers of the Court, whereas the functions of a notary are purely ministerial in nature and do not require notaries to make judicial determinations.
