| Description: |
"...All lawyers interested in, or concerned about, the way in which their profession is administered, will enjoy the instruction which Professor Stevens is able to provide" David Pannick QC writing in The Times "The definitive account of the classical heydey of the Lord Chancellor's Department" Gavin Drewry writing in Legal Studies "...He has brought the scene to life very skilfully, and made clear the tensions between the judges and the Lord Chancellor and his senior officials ... as an account of the problems of judicial administrators during the twentieth century it is excellent" Sir Derrick Oulton writing in The Journal of Law and Society "A short, elegant book ... an illuminating account of relations from Victorian times until now between the Lord Chancellor's senior advisors and the judges. Robert Stevens reinforces many of the beliefs and suspicions of those whose careers have been in the law" Stephen Tumin writing in The Sunday Telegraph "A fascinating glimpse of legal politics" Robin de Wilde QC writing in The Bar magazine Counsel |
| Synopsis: |
This is the paperback edition of Robert Stevens' popular and widely reviewed book concerned with the independence of the judiciary in England. Using records kept by the Lord Chancellor's office Robert Stevens charts the progress of the concept of judicial independence through the Victorian era and the early twentieth century up to 1963, the most recent year for which records were available to the author. In reading the book we are reminded that of all our great institutions the judiciary has been subject, in modern times, to perhaps the least scrutiny and reform. Robert Stevens' scholarly and entertaining book explains, with the help of many valuable jurisprudential and social insights why this is so, and in the process offers the reader an unusual and very candid picture of the careers and lives of many of England's best known judges and politicians. |
