What is mjp?

MJP usually is short for Multi-Jurisdictional Practice. This is a term used for professional people. Mostly for lawyers.

It means a person can work in more than one place. Each place has its own rules. Here in Canada, each province is a different place for law. So Ontario has its own rules for lawyers. And British Columbia has its own rules. They are not the same.

Let’s say a lawyer has a license for Ontario. But he has a client with a business problem in Alberta. The lawyer cannot just go and work in Alberta. He needs permission. Multi-Jurisdictional Practice rules say how he can do this. Usually, it is for a short time. Or for only one specific legal case. It is temporary work.

These rules are very important. They protect the public. They make sure the lawyer knows the local rules of that other province. It helps because many companies now do business all over Canada. A company in Toronto might need help with something in Halifax. MJP rules make this possible.

Sometimes, people on the internet use MJP for famous people. Like Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson. It depends on the conversation. But in a professional or business talk, it almost always means Multi-Jurisdictional Practice.

I hope this helps you to understand.
