What should be the primary goals of a judicial appointments system,
and how much weight should be placed on diversity in particular?
Why is achieving a diverse judiciary across the UK taking so long?
Is it time for positive action? What role should the current
judiciary play in the appointment of our future judges? There is
broad agreement within the UK and other common law countries that
diversity raises important questions for a legal system and its
officials, but much less agreement about the full implications of
recognising diversity as an important goal of the judicial
appointments regime. Opinions differ, for example, on the methods,
forms, timing and motivations for judicial diversity. To mark the
tenth anniversary of the creation of the Judicial Appointments
Commission (JAC) in England and Wales, this collection includes
contributions from current and retired judges, civil servants,
practitioners, current and former commissioners on the JAC and
leading academics from Australia, Canada, South Africa and across
the UK. Together they provide timely and authoritative insights
into past, current and future debates on the search for diversity
in judicial appointments. Topics discussed include the role and
responsibility of independent appointment bodies; assessments of
the JAC's first ten years; appointments to the UK Supreme Court;
the pace of change; definitions of 'merit' and 'diversity';
mandatory retirement ages; the use of ceiling quotas; and the
appropriate role of judges and politicians in the appointments
process.
