The Alabama Municipal Judges Association (AMJA) organized as a section of the Alabama League of Municipalities (ALM) at the AMJA annual meeting on November 9, 2007. AMJA was created to serve and benefit municipal judges throughout the State of Alabama. The goals of AMJA are to foster communication and education for municipal judges in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Alabama's municipal courts.

All Alabama municipal judges, full-time or part-time, are eligible for full membership in AMJA. The cost for a full membership is $75.00 for each calendar year.

AMJA members enjoy benefits such as:

  • The Municipal Judges forum located at
        http://leagueboard.org, which is only accessible to
        member judges, enables members to share ideas and ask
        questions of other municipal judges through the forum
        and e-mail;
  • Reduced conference attendance rates; and
  • Access to the ALM legal department and current legal     developments including legislation and case law.

AMJA membership dues also enable the Association to bring in recognized national and regional experts to speak on topics of interest to municipal judges.
