"To be the judges and magistrates ... we need to be intelligent, knowledgeable about the law, but more importantly perhaps, wise in the ways of the world, sensitive to others from different backgrounds to our own, fair and open-minded and balanced, independent in spirit, courageous to do what is right even when it will be unpopular: perhaps indeed most of all when it will be unpopular, whether with politicians, the executive, or the media." Lord Judge, Lord Chief Justice
