NLJ this week: Managing the judges?

Retired judge Dr Victoria McCloud shares her thoughts regarding judicial ‘leadership’, social media guidance and the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office, in this week’s NLJ.

‘It does not help a judiciary, which is mistrusted by some amid fears of secrecy, if it appears that judges “manage” other judges as their “bosses”.’
