Talking Law

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

medium only
Hugo Young introduces a four-part series on the law. Is it accessible enough to ordinary people? Who is to blame for the delay in getting cases to court? Does the legal profession attract the right recruits and how good is their training? In the first programme, he looks at the role of judges. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Elwyn-Jones, and four judges, Mr Justice Pain , Mr Justice Slynn, Mr Justice Templeman and the Recorder of London, James Miskin , talk about the pitfalls of the job and answer the commonly-voiced accusation that judges are out of touch with everyday life. Producer ANNE SLOMAN
