Debating Judicial Appointments in an Age of Diversity by Graham Gee (English) Pa

Description: Debating Judicial Appointments in an Age of Diversity by Graham Gee, Erika Rackley This collection engages with the issue of diversity among the judiciary. Each contributor reflects on a current debate about judicial appointments and analysing ways in which that debate is likely to develop over the next ten years. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What should be the primary goals of a judicial appointments system, and how much weight should be placed on diversity in particular? Why is achieving a diverse judiciary across the UK taking so long? Is it time for positive action? What role should the current judiciary play in the appointment of our future judges? There is broad agreement within the UK and other common law countries that diversity raises important questions for a legal system and its officials, but much less agreement about the full implications of recognising diversity as an important goal of the judicial appointments regime. Opinions differ, for example, on the methods, forms, timing and motivations for judicial diversity. To mark the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) in England and Wales, this collection includes contributions from current and retired judges, civil servants, practitioners, current and former commissioners on the JAC and leading academics from Australia, Canada, South Africa and across the UK. Together they provide timely and authoritative insights into past, current and future debates on the search for diversity in judicial appointments. Topics discussed include the role and responsibility of independent appointment bodies; assessments of the JACs first ten years; appointments to the UK Supreme Court; the pace of change; definitions of merit and diversity; mandatory retirement ages; the use of ceiling quotas; and the appropriate role of judges and politicians in the appointments process.
