A leading defence barrister in two recent Palestine Action trials is waiting to hear whether he will face proceedings for contempt in the face of the court. This area of common law has been explained as “conduct that denotes wilful defiance of the court". rozenberg.substack.com/p/kc-challen...

David Lammy will respond today to Sir Brian Leveson’s review of the criminal courts. It seems the justice secretary is not going quite as far as originally reported. But he would not be the first to ask for more in order to claim credit for making concessions. rozenberg.substack.com/p/lammys-res...

Lammy’s response to Leveson

Tactical withdrawal? Or political spin?

There is no 'need'. I think it's simply a recognition of the status of the two roles which they hold & will have held when they retire

The Lady or Lord Chief Justice is generally referred to by the initials, LCJ or is simply The Chief (but not in Court)

The male chief justices have always for hundreds of years been referred to as Lord Chief Justice. Lady Carr is our First Lady Chief. The role makes post holder a member of the House of Lords (our upper house of Parliament) where all the occupants are referred to as Lords or Ladies
