Extrajudicial Communication: Perspectives and Practice

This is the first book to comprehensively address the phenomenon of extrajudicial communication.

With contributions from leading legal scholars, it offers a detailed examination of what judges say outside of the courtroom, when, why, and to what end. The book explores extrajudicial communication through both varying perspectives on its use, and the forms that it takes, including judicial speeches, interviews, life writing and more. It does so with a principal focus on the UK judiciary, but also with reflections on its practice in other common law jurisdictions and at international courts and tribunals. The text unpicks the relationship between these communications, constitutional principles and the modern understanding of the judicial role.

A fascinating and truly novel work on how judges communicate outside the courtroom and why it matters.
