Judges and policy: A delicate balance - with Lord Neuberger

With Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court.


The boundaries between the executive, the legislation and the judiciary are increasingly uncertain and controversial. Issues such as sentencing, legal aid and extradition have all tested the limits of the power of judges and ministers. Yet a clear understanding of these roles and a productive working relationship is crucial for better policy making and judicial decisions that work.

As President of the Supreme Court, Lord Neuberger is at the heart of these debates. Here, he discusses how he has seen the relationship evolving, and where the right balance for good government might lie. The event is chaired by Peter Riddell, Director, Institute for Government.
