In January, the judiciary will launch its first online course, developed by the judiciary in partnership with King’s College London and hosted on the FutureLearn platform.

The Modern Judiciary: Who they are, what they do and why it matters’ is designed to explain the workings and purpose of the modern judiciary. It will last four to five weeks and is free of charge. No previous legal knowledge is required. Lord Burnett, the Lord Chief Justice, said: ‘It is vitally important that the public understands what a modern judge’s role is so they can have confidence in the decisions they make.’
