Recenzii

...everything you wanted to know about every lord ever-112 of them-is in The Judicial House of Lords 1876-2009
...a collection of essays from leading legal minds, easily digestible individually. Furthermore, it achieves the difficult task of documenting the complex history of the judicial House of Lords, while predicting its impact upon the newly constituted Supreme Court
A monumental collection of scholarly contributions
As the new court prepares for its official opening next month, Louis Blom-Cooper, QC, has published a weighty tome of articles under the title The Judicial House of Lords, providing the chance of a nostalgic retrospective...there are chapters from 40 leading academics, lawyers, and judges spanning no fewer than 912 pages, a collective valedictory tribute as the House of Lords loses its judicial arm and the Supreme Court opens.
Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC has practised as a barrister for nearly sixty years. In The Judicial House of Lords 1876-2009, he and his fellow editors have well shown what was lost when the House of Lords concluded its last hearing in July. This book is not only the record of a court but an authoritative introduction to recent developments in every major area of the law. More than forty academics, lawyers and judges have analysed the judicial House of Lords from every perspective. Blom-Cooper, who worked as a part-time legal journalist when barristers were not allowed to write under their own names, has even contributed a chapter on the law lords' literary style.
beautifully produced
A work of scholarship and insight with editorial voices sounding forth from every aspect of the legal profession...It is, indeed, a tribute to what is now a piece of constitutional history.
...not only the record of a court but an authoritative introduction to recent developments in every major area of law. More than forty academics, lawyers and judges have analysed the judicial House of Lords from every perspective.
The overall quality, in terms of both presentation and content, is first-class...The editors and publisher are to be congratulated on achieving what must have been a Herculean task. It is undoubtedly a fitting tribute to a mighty institution.
With the start of the new Supreme Court on October 1, 2009, this splendid book's appearance is timely, and of special interest to show how the Law Lords handled crime.
