The Power of Judges: A Dialogue Between David Neuberger and Peter Riddell

Seen through the eyes of the average person, the Supreme Court is out of reach and incomprehensible, and judges are a remote and detached caste. The Power of Judges defies these misconceptions, distilling the complexity and obscurity of the judicial system into an accessible and lively dialogue.

David Neuberger and Peter Riddell lead the reader through subjects including the courts' main functions and challenges, the relationships between morality and law, and the links and limits between Parliament and the Judiciary. Touching on controversies such as cuts to legal aid, the question of assisted dying, and the balance between fighting terrorism and protecting personal liberty, these experts shed much-needed light on the enormous and essential contribution made by Britain's judges.
