The role of the Supreme Court has often been considered out of
reach and incomprehensible to the vast majority of the public,
while judges might be seen as a caste apart from society, remote to
most people. The Power of Judges tries to defy this logic,
exploring the fundamental concept of justice and explaining in a
simple way the main functions of the courts, the challenges they
face and the complexity of the judicial system. In a remarkable
effort to make the judiciary more accessible, David Neuberger and
Peter Riddell lead the reader through a vast array of subjects such
as the relationships between morality and law and between
Parliament and the judiciary. They explain the effects of cuts in
legal aid and try to shed light on complex and controversial
subjects like the role of arbitration and mediation, the matter of
assisted dying and the complex balance of dealing with mass
terrorism while protecting personal liberty. In the book's final
chapters the authors question the validity of an unwritten
constitution and the robustness of the legal system today. The book
also offers a comparison of the UK's legal system with its
counterparts in the US and Germany. Full of insights, The Power of
Judges is an informative and accessible account of the UK judicial
system, its contribution to running the country and the challenges
it faces, including the many threats to its effectiveness.
