Building the UK's New Supreme Court National and Comparative Perspectives

Reforming Top Courts is a collection of essays exploring the role and future of top-level national courts. The volume considers the operation and reform of top-level national courts in the United Kingdom, Canada, the USA, Germany, and Spain, with a particular focus on the Law Lords in the UK. From this basis, the contributors consider whether national courts can draw lessons from courts in other legal systems about effective procedures and methods of working.
