Descripción

This week, David Lammy, the British Justice Secretary brought to an end the right to trial by jury, a right that has existed in England since the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, while the tradition of trial by jury goes back even further that that. Is this the thin end of the wedge? Is it being done to expedite guilty verdicts in free speech cases? Do we now live in a Lawyerocracy? To discuss all this and more we were joined by Ed West, author of the Wrong Side of History Substack, who penned this excellent piece [https://www.edwest.co.uk/p/the-glory-of-the-english-law] lamenting the end of trial by jury and the glory of English law. Stick around to the end to see how Ed does in Alex’s impromptu jury-based pub quiz.
