Jefferson Justice of the Peace Office (Location Key)

Monk is arraigned by a Justice of the Peace before being tried before a judge and jury. "Monk" doesn't say where the "J.P.'s office" is (42). Mississippi no longer uses this system, but at the date of the story there were Justices of the Peace in various parts of the state, so this office could be located outside Jefferson, in the neighborhood of the killing - or it could be in the county courthouse itself. As a kind of compromise, we have chosen to put the office on the Square.
