I expect Gove will be ‘rewarded’ by being sent to the House of Cronies (sorry Lords). Time to make that impossible by reforming it

Commenting on @AgataFijalkow new book ‘Law visual culture and the show trial’ I was fascinated by the cultural connections between photos publicising the trials and the longer aesthetic traditions they resonate with. I was exploring this in the print room yesterday.
An amazing scholar.
I remember meeting Nathalie Zemon Davis at Lancaster University 28 years ago or so. Her work meticulous
and reflective and she was very engaged with every question we through at her. RIP

I hope the dialogue touched on how the UKSC might deal with the embarrassing lack of female UKSC judges. The Australian court doesn’t seem to have the same gender problems.
Last week, UK Supreme Court Justices took part in a virtual exchange with the High Court of Australia, with both delegations leading roundtable discussions. This is part of a series of virtual bilateral meetings with judicial colleagues around the world. supremecourt.uk/news/virtual…

One journalist reported the Miller decision as a battle between ‘Spider Woman’ and ‘the Incredible Hulk’. The latter doesn’t seem to have gained much traction- I guess difficult to sustain the imagine of a bumbling disheveled pathological liar (Mr Johnson) as a superhero
Time to focus on those -the journalists- who generated the news reports about the Miller decision. The spider ‘twist’ added a new(s) dimension to a very well worn story of Brexit as a story of bitter conflict. Journalist mined the spider’s metaphorical associations.

I went to the exhibition #onholding in the old #Lambeth County Court building. The installations and performances made good use of the ex-courtrooms exploring narrative, memory, temporal experiences of the legal process. Last day tomorrow if you are near & have an hour to spare

Hancock’s ministerial career needs to be investigated in detail. What is already in the public realm suggests his career is a cesspit of corruption.

I’ve been reading my way though my small collection of judicial fiction. Peter Murphy’s, was much the best. The judge was the narrator. The Scottoline and Martini books are more police procedurals. All now heading to a charity shop.

I started this by @Eliza_Garnsey yesterday. An interesting study of the interface between art and justice in the context of South Africa’s Constitutional Court and its art collection. The book also looks at SA Venice Biennale pavilion. Good to see @CUP_Law splash out on a cover
