Inside guide to the UK’s top court

The Supreme Court has launched a free, online course about its work, including interviews with current and former Justices

The two-week course, entitled ‘Inside the UK Supreme Court: its role, its work and cases that affect us all’, is being run in partnership with Royal Holloway, University of London. Participants are expected to commit about four hours per week.

President of the Supreme Court, Lord Reed, said: ‘It’s a great way of sharing behind the scenes insight into how we deliver cases, and to take a deep dive into some recent judgments.’

Royal Holloway lecturer Dr David Yuratich said the course, which begins on 21 February, is interactive, and the content takes the form of articles, case studies, video interviews, quizzes, and mini lectures.
