Baroness Hale of Richmond is a pioneering female legal mind who became President of the Supreme Court in the U.K. Baroness Hale of Richmond was invited to give the Sir Winston Churchill Memorial Lecture by the British Luxembourg Society this week; only the second woman in its history to have done so, the first being Margaret Thatcher. Her talk was entitled “The Independence of the Judiciary and some of its Enemies”. Baroness Hale is, in the words of criminal barrister Gareth Weetman, ‘legal royalty'. Her fame grew beyond the world of legal minds when, as President of the Supreme Court, she had to deliver the verdict that Boris Johnson's prorogation of parliament was “void and of no effect”. She did so whilst wearing a demure black dress adorned with a striking spider brooch. In this interview at RTL she wore her favourite brooch - two mating dragonflies. Lady Hale's life story is now available in her book, Spider Woman. I highly suggest you listen to it in audible format, with Lady Hale herself as narrator. This highlights the sparkle and keen sense of intelligence in her voice. During this interview, we start with the ‘Spider' story and move onto whether Lady Hale believes British Parliament is in favour of an independent judiciary, or whether she feels the Supreme Court justices are influenced by Government. We also mention Suella Braverman, as the Supreme Court very recently ruled her idea of sending refugees coming to the UK to Rwanda as unlawful. In Lady Hale's lifetime as an academic, Law Commissioner, High Court Judge, Lord Justice of Appeal, Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, and finally President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, Lady Hale has effected great change in the legal rights of women, children and those with mental health issues, amongst much else. In this long discussion we have a glimpse into the life of an extremely agile mind that has developed British law for the benefit of a greater proportion of society. Lady Hale believes we need more basic education of the judiciary processes in school in order to understand how law is there for the benefit of society; how things link together. Her only daughter, Julia Hoggett, is CEO at the London Stock Exchange, and is another trailblazer in her own right. Lady Hale's late second-husband, Julian Farrand, had the wonderful piece of advice: "All I want is more than enough". Lady Hale is the middle of three daughters who all became Head Girl of their school in Yorkshire and the only ladies to marry 30 miles beyond their home village. Her parents were accomplished teachers and her father's sudden death aged just 49, when she was 13, developed a core of resilience and non-dependence on a man for income. Baroness Hale was accompanied by Sir Nicholas Forwood KC.

The Israelites complain to God that the world seems like an unfair and unjust place to live. The evil seem to get away from it and God doesn't seem to intervene; corruption and wickedness are abounding and God seems to do nothing. God responds by promising to send a messenger who will prepare the way for God himself to come and bring justice, purifying with fire to remove the idolatry, sinfulness and immorality that is rife among them. The people don't seem to trust that God will come to bring justice and freedom for the oppressed and saw him as passive and unconcerned. However, God was faithful to his promises as Jesus fulfils this (Luke 4:16-19) and then promises to make all things new again in the age to come. How can we get frustrated with or blame God for the suffering and injustice we see in this world? Do we trust that God really does care about the state of this world, and will do something about it? What is our part in brining justice and freedom to the oppressed?

Originally recorded and released on April 28, 2023.The Spirit of the Lord declares that the righteous judges shall be vindicated, while those who have met behind closed doors to manipulate trials shall be exposed. The Lord issued a warning for the people of Hawaii and calls upon families with recognizable names to stretch their faith and to be a shield against the destruction of law. The prophetic word also touches on current events, such as the upcoming baffling election cycle and the scandal in New York's highest seats.

Romancing the Scot by May McGoldrick Part 2http://bit.ly/3ZVUqBRHugh Pennington - Viscount Greysteil, Lord Justice of the Scottish Courts, hero of the Napoleonic wars - is a grieving widower with a death wish. When he receives an expected crate from the continent, he is shocked to find a nearly dead woman inside. Her identity is unknown, and the handful of American coins and the precious diamond sown into her dress only deepen the mystery. Grace Ware is an enemy to the English crown. Her father, an Irish military commander of Napoleon's defeated army. Her mother, an exiled Scottish Jacobite. When Grace took shelter in a warehouse, running from her father's murderers through the harbor alleyways of Antwerp, she never anticipated bad luck to deposit her at the home of an aristocrat in the Scottish Borders. Baronsford is the last place she could expect to find safety, and Grace feigns a loss of memory to buy herself time while she recovers. http://bit.ly/3ZVUqBRhttps://bookcastmedia.com

The role of the Lord Chancellor is to protect and uphold the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. Yet the position is held by a cabinet minister: the secretary of state for justice. This overlap between the independent judiciary and the political world, and the balance of power between parliament, government and the judiciary, is the source of much debate – and disagreement. So what powers, if any, should a Lord Chancellor have over judicial appointments? Should the role go to someone with a legal background? What makes a good Lord Chancellor? Sir Robert Buckland, who served as Lord Chancellor and secretary of state for justice until September 2021, opened this event with a short speech on his experiences in post and his proposals for how it can be reformed. Responding to Sir Robert Buckland and joining the discussion: Baroness Butler-Sloss, former judge and first female Lord Justice of Appeal Sir Jonathan Jones, former treasury solicitor and head of the government legal department The event was chaired by Emma Norris, Director of Research at the Institute for Government. #IfGLordChancellor

This week, we're joined by journalist and magician Alan White (@Aljwhite), who is the Editor-in-Chief of Politics Home, and the former Lord Justice of Twitter (according to his bio). We discuss the most important issue of our times: Are Clowns a subset of Magician? It's an important question which tackles the conception of 'audience' that underpins the current culture war in the Magic Circle, between old school, guarded Magicians and their younger TikTok friendly counterparts. Hussein also comes out as a CERF, with his own gatekeeping over what constitutes a Clown in the context of the Now You See Me franchise. Later, we talk about Andrew Lilico, a once moderately respected British economist who is now mainly known for his weird tweets, that range from whether or not you can marry an Alien in a Catholic church, to his fantastical scenario in which two low-level English cricketers are put on trial for calling the Home Secretary a pedophile on Twitter. Lilico is one of the best examples of Poster's Brain we've seen, and Alan tries to explain why this might be reflective of a broader trend of former think-tank people who, having realised nobody reads their reports or cares what they have to say, have simply decided to be posters instead.  ----more---- This is a free episode!

Part 2 - coming Wednesday 27 January.

Although not dominating the COVID headlines the backlog of legal cases in the UK is taking a heavy toll on everyone from the people involved who are seeking resolution to the legal profession itself. That's the story today, but it was also the story back in 1666 when after a year of plague and then the Great Fire of London, our capital city was crippled by a legal backlog which made economic recovery and the rebuilding that it required all but impossible. The challenge then was to deal with all the cases to do with Landlords and Leaseholders who had lost everything in the fire and so couldn't afford to begin the rebuilding process. Jonathan is joined by the historian Professor Jay Tidmarsh who will tell the story of the Fire Courts and Fire Judges, set up to deal with the backlog as quickly and efficiently as possible. What they did, how the courts operated and just how much work they got through in less than a decade might provide some ideas for today's legal practitioners. To compare the history with the present Jonathan also hears from the Chair of the Bar Council Amanda Pinto and Sir Ernest Ryder a Lord Justice of Appeal, master of Pembroke College, Oxford and a law reformer. That's the Long View of Legal Backlogs. Producer: Tom Alban

What will the seminar cover?Appeals are characterised by a tension between two competing considerations. On the one hand, appeals serve an important public and private function in correcting errors by trial judges. On the other, appellate courts must be cognisant of their natural limitations and must give due respect to the advantages enjoyed by trial judges. How this dichotomy between appellate obligation and appellate restraint is resolved determines not only how appellate courts decide appeals, but also how counsel argue appeals.Viewers will join an English Court of Appeal judge and experienced counsel in a discussion of the diverging approaches to this issue taken by Australian and English law.Topics of discussion include:- The functions of the Queensland Court of Appeal and the English Court of Appeal- The standard of appellate review applicable to four types of first instance decision- The differences between Australian and English law- Whether Queensland v Masson [2020] HCA 28 would have been decided differently in the UKWho should listen?All law practitioners, but particularly commercial lawyers, litigators and their clients.PRESENTERSDiscussion Chair: Roger Traves QC (barrister, Level Twenty Seven Chambers)The session Chair has appeared as counsel on numerous Court of Appeal cases across a spectrum of commercial cases, most recently State of Queensland v Masson which went to the High Court.UK perspective: Sir Richard McCombe (Lord Justice of Appeal, Court of Appeal of England and Wales)Chambers warmly welcomes our guest speaker.

Lee and Gwilym's guest this week is such an IP VIP that he barely needs an introduction.

James Doe interviews Sir Rupert Jackson, a barrister, former Lord Justice of Appeal and international arbitrator, to discuss his views on various aspects of construction law and practice. Speakers: James Doe (Partner, UK Head of Construction & Infrastructure Disputes), Sir Rupert Jackson

Lord Thomas was called to the bar in 1969 and after a long and distinguished career became Chief Justice of England and Wales between 2013 and 2017.  In this interview we talk about his early career and what led him to that role and what he is involved in today and what it is like being a peer in the House of Lords.  We also talk about the place of the Judiciary and role of the Judge.  He was the New Zealand Law Foundation’s 2019 Distinguished Visiting Fellow and visited New Zealand in September 2019 where he spoke at the Canterbury University Law School. In this interview we talk about a variety of topics including constitutional reform, being somewhere where something happens, having a young family and a busy career, changes to the practise of law since he began working, being in Chicago in the late 1960s, what it is like to be a Judge, digitising of the Courts and being involved in Constitutional changes, the role of law schools of the future, as well as joining the House of Lords. Seeds is all about hearing diverse and varying perspectives and life journeys, which is why this interview fits so well with others even if they cover the life story of a Nun, someone who has been trafficked or someone who is 6 years old.  There are many dozens of interviews in the back catalogue now at www.theseeds.nz  A very big thanks to The Law Foundation as well as Canterbury University Law School for arranging this interview (in particular, Stephen Todd, Ursula Cheer, Elizabeth Toomey and Julie Scott).

The Rt Hon Sir Peter Gross explores the aspects of and changes in judicial leadership in the 2016 annual Gray's Inn Reading http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/judicial-leadership History portrays judges as passive umpires, ensuring fair play between litigants at trial before delivering judgement on their disputes. We have over the last thirty years travelled a considerable distance away from that historic picture. In this year's lecture Sir Peter Gross, Lord Justice of Appeal and formerly Senior Presiding Judge for England and Wales, considers how the modern judiciary has to now undertake a wide-ranging and active leadership role both inside and outside court and how that role may evolve in the future.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/judicial-leadership Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.

Episode 6 - In this episode, Bill Marsh gets behind the official Sir Alan Ward, in an interview which reveals the wit and charm of the new Chair of the CMC. Sir Alan was born and raised in South Africa and practiced as an Attorney of the Supreme Court. In 1961, he moved to England to take a second degree, reading law at Cambridge. He was called to the bar (Gray's Inn) in 1964 and was appointed a High Court judge in October 1988 and was assigned to the Family Division. In 1995, he was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal and retired 15 February 2013 enabling him to join the CMC. A long time supporter of mediation, Sir Alan recently said ‘I am utterly convinced mediation has an increasing part to play in providing civil justice. The CMC is at the epicenter of promoting all forms of mediation and maintaining the standards necessary to ensure its success. It is therefore a great honour to succeed Sir Henry Brooke, Lord Slynn and Sir Brian Neill at this crucial time.’

First, last year, David Cameron called on Lord Justice Leveson to recommend a new regulatory system for the press. Then, yesterday, after he'd made his recommendations, Leveson LJ passed responsibility for the next steps back to the government - they, he said, must decide "who guards the guards". Where does that leave the industry, whose own plans for self-regulation were rejected by the inquiry? How much of the Leveson scheme can they accept and what can or should they now offer to meet the calls for independent self-regulation? To explore the behind-the-scenes negotiations, Steve Hewlett talks to a range of editors tasked with finding a solution: Peter Wright, former editor of the Mail on Sunday, Chris Blackhurst, editor of The Independent, John Witherow, editor of the Sunday Times, Trevor Kavanagh, associate editor of The Sun and Anne Pickles, associate editor of The Cumberland News and the News and Star which are part of the Cumbrian Newspaper Group. Producer Beverley Purcell.

Claire Bolderson profiles Lord Justice Leveson, the judge who is leading the public inquiry into the phone hacking scandal and relationships between politicians, journalists and police officers. Brian Leveson was born and brought up in Liverpool and worked there, as a young barrister, for a number of years before becoming a QC. His later career involved some of the biggest commercial trials of the time - among them BCCI, Polly Peck and Barings. He also prosecuted Ken Dodd on behalf of the Inland Revenue and, in a rare setback, he lost the case. And he's turned his hand to the criminal bar and prosecuted one of the UK's most infamous serial killers - Rosemary West. If he handles the public inquiry into phone hacking successfully, many believe he will be one step closer to the ultimate legal prize - the position of Lord Chief Justice.
