Pupils to meet with Supreme Court Justice

Liverpool College has an exciting event planned after half term. Lord Burrows, a Supreme Court Justice for the United Kingdom, has kindly agreed to meet with Liverpool College pupils to answer their questions about the British legal system. All pupils from Ch9 to Ch13 were given an opportunity to indicate if they have an interest in Law as a possible future profession – it was these pupils and students who subsequently were selected to present their questions to Lord Burrows. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in the UK both for civil cases and criminal cases. They only hear cases of the greatest public or constitutional importance affecting the whole population. This is indeed a superb opportunity. To help the students make the most of this opportunity, Liverpool Judge, Mr Richard Baker, volunteered to come into the school to lead a session about the UK legal structure, its history and the role of the Supreme Court. His talk ensured the pupils were well informed and well prepared for their upcoming audience with the Justice of the Supreme Court, ensuring they are able to ask relevant and meaningful questions. Our thanks to Mr Baker for his valuable time in helping to prepare our students. This is an event they will never forget.
