On Monday 30 January Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court, visited the University following an invitation from the Debating Union, the Law School and the Student Law Society.
Lord Neuberger answered questions from members of Southampton Law School in front of a large audience. The President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Christopher Snowden, Vice President of Research & Enterprise, Professor Mark Spearing, and Dean of the Faculty of Business, Law and Art, Professor Paul Whittaker also took part in the event.
Questions were then taken from six students (Arun Aggarwal, Chelsea Rose, Rosemary Beedham, Christelle Li San Cheung, Ritesh Kausik and Hadeeka Taj) as well as two members of the teaching staff.
Lord Neuberger’s responses to the students touched on many areas where he exercises his influence, notably improving the diversity of the Supreme Court, but also the challenges to privacy posed by technological advances, and the concern to preserve London’s position as a dispute resolution centre of choice. The questions also provoked many insights into the judicial process and the rewards and demands of life at the Bar.
