As the two respondees have said it stands for justice of the peace. In the UK jps are also commonly called magistrates.
They sit in the magistrates court which tries minor offences. They have strict limits to the penalties they can dish out.
More serious offences or if the accused wishes are tried in the crown court which has a jury of twelve random members of the electorate and is overseen by a judge or a recorder.
The US will obviously be a little different.
