Separate But Equal
The UK’s Equality legislation prohibits formal segregation with limited exemptions. Single-sex schools are one such exemption. No rationale for this was provided at the time of the legislation, and it was not until 2017 in the case of Al Hijrah that the question arose of whether and when sex-segregation in schools is lawful. We take up this question, reviewing the equality costs and benefits of sex-segregated schools conceptually and empirically.…
Values diversity in the United Kingdom Supreme Court
The case for greater judicial diversity has generally been constructed in terms of the need to appoint more women and those from minority ethnic groups. This article shifts the focus from demographic to cognitive diversity. Drawing on new insights and methodologies from the behavioural sciences on judges’ personal values and analysing the relationship between demographic diversity and values diversity, it sets out the case for the potential benef…
Equality Law and the Protected Characteristics
UK anti‐discrimination law is founded on a grounds‐based system of protected characteristics. For this system to function as a legitimate and workable legal framework the characteristics must satisfy three conditions: they must have some definitional and categorical stability, they must broadly reflect people's understanding of social reality and lived experiences and they must align with the most significant axes of discrimination in society. Th…
The Legal Profession as Gatekeeper to the Judiciary
The gate‐keeping role played by the legal profession in the judicial appointments process gives rise to the translation of entrenched group‐based identity hierarchies from legal practice into the judiciary. The relationship between the composition of the legal profession and the judiciary has been almost completely unaffected by recent reforms designed to increase diversity in the composition of the judiciary. This article identifies legal and in…
Diversity in the Judiciary
A range of policies has been developed in England and Wales to reform the judicial appointments process so as to promote greater diversity. But despite two decades of official activity, the pace of change has been far slower than anticipated. Increasing awareness of the intransigence of the problem has led to a greater willingness to revisit some of the more fundamental tenets which have underpinned the approach to the problem to date, in particu…

Rethinking the Merit Principle in Judicial Selection
Against the background of the continuing lack of diversity in the makeup of the judiciary in England and Wales, this article explores the reasons behind the consistent rejection of affirmative action policies in relation to the judicial appointment process. It examines the relationship between affirmative action and the merit principle in this context and argues that the belief that the two are inherently in tension rests on implicit assumptions …

Justifying Gender Equality on the Bench
Judicial Bias and Disqualification after Pinochet (No. 2)
Judicial Training and Performance Appraisal
Appeals against Conviction and the Principle of Finality
Much of the evidence relating to the criminal review process which was submitted to the Royal Commission stressed that a principal reason why miscarriages of justice were not being identified and corrected was that the Court of Appeal and the Home Office were too restrictive in exercising their powers to review convictions. In response to these criticisms, the Commission proposed a number of reforms to the powers of the Court of Appeal and the es…
