The House of Lords served as the highest court in the UK for over
130 years. In 2009 the new UK Supreme Court took over its judicial
functions, closing the doors on one of the most influential legal
institutions in the world, and a major chapter in the history of
the UK legal system. This volume gathers over 40 leading scholars
and practitioners from the UK and beyond to provide a comprehensive
history of the House of Lords as a judicial institution, charting
its role, working practices, reputation and impact on the law and
UK legal system. The book examines the origins of the House's
judicial work; the different phases in the court's history; the
international reputation and influence of the House in the legal
profession; the domestic perception of the House outside the law;
and the impact of the House on the UK legal tradition and
substantive law. The book offers an invaluable overview of the
Judicial House of Lords and a major historical record for the UK
legal system now that it has passed into the next chapter in its
history.
