Serving Judge Lord McCluskey gives his second Reith lecture from the series entitled 'Law, Justice and Democracy'.
In this lecture entitled 'The Clanking of Medieval Chains', Lord McCluskey examines how judges think. He asks how with precisely the same starting materials in terms of fact and legal tradition, judges can come to such diametrically opposite conclusions.
