Two news stories that will keep the judiciary in the news for some time. The last decision that the Law Lords have taken in their current home in the House of Lords is causing controversy - the Debby Purdy decision on assisted suicide. See the Channel 4 news excerpt here. Its move across Parliament Square in October as the newly formed Supreme Court will only highlight such decisions in the future. Secondly, the Iraq War Inquiry, to be headed by Sir John Chilcot will have political implications throughout its hearings, probably well into 2011, see the Channel 4 news story here.
And another thing - a good link here to the Guardian's special on the Human Rights Act.
