Do judges use the power of the state for the good of the nation? Or do they create new laws in line with their personal views?
When newspapers reported a court ruling on Brexit, senior judges were shocked to see themselves condemned as enemies of the people.
But that did not stop them ruling that an order made by the Queen on the advice of her prime minister was just ‘a blank piece of paper’.
Joshua Rozenberg, Britain’s best-known commentator on the law, asks how judges can maintain public confidence while making hard choices.
Joshua Rozenberg is the only full-time journalist to have been appointed Queen’s Counsel honoris causa. After taking a law degree at Oxford he trained as a solicitor. He is an honorary Master of the Bench of Gray’s Inn and a non-executive board member of the Law Commission.
Joshua was the BBC’s legal correspondent for 15 years before moving to newspapers. He now presents the popular Radio 4 series Law in Action, which he launched in 1984 and appears regularly on other news networks in the UK and abroad.
