Reviews

The book is a valuable and timely contribution that will leave the reader with a sense of the competing demands and pressures on the designers of the Supreme Court. The book does not so much prescribe a vision for the court, but rather identifies how the various choices will have a substantive impact on the UK's political and legal culture. Any reader of this volume will gain a clear understanding of the important and complex issues that have been raised by the government's decision to create a Supreme Court. The Cambridge Law Journal packs in much food for thought Commonwealth Law Journal
