The Judge's Woolsack - should it be vacant
(Click Here) The Woolsack in the House of Lords
Who is head of the judiciary as Lord Chancellor these days? Is there a vacancy and will a "virtual woolsack" make do via a legal secretary and ex fee earner paralegal having a very real ability in Jurisprudence (even although the PM these days is not doing "prudence"). I did apply for the Bar 4 times and for some unknown reason was rejected 4 times!
Where is the executive function in the cabinet that only a Judge can have - head up the judiciary and have a political post in the Cabinet.
Why and when did we create the position of "Justice Secretary" and further why is that post held by a Lord on the political fence, not the judicial fence or why is the political within the judiciary and not the judiciary within the political - change managed something!
Separation of the powers - I recall Romano Prodi who headed up the EU had a little chat about that topic some years ago.
I did also see in Hansard (Click Here) Quotes on the Woolf Reforms that Lord Mackay of Clashfern notified that the Access to Justice Bill was dealt with via the "Despatch Box" and not the Woolsack - can someone clarify the reason for this, was it a one-off or are we doing something different these days and why?
