Publications and media
Judges are often asked for their views by the Government when consulting on a new set of proposals. Whilst judges do not get involved in politics, it is entirely legitimate for them to set out their views on the likely impact on the courts of proposed legislation or policies.
From time to time judges set out their views either in formal consultation responses, or when delivering speeches. A wide variety of areas are covered, from commenting on important Constitutional changes, to offering views on the use of technology in the courts.
