	Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill: 1 Jul 2002: House of Lords debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		My Lords, I am not quite sure of the purpose of the interruption, particularly as the Opposition were called to recognise the limitations in the second stage of the Bill.
		Noble Lords know that, over a period of years, concerns have been expressed that, although many judges are sufficiently erudite in considering judgments, they do not always communicate their thinking to the public at large in the way that perhaps one would best like to see such statements delivered.
		I believe that if we are to build confidence in the future in Northern Ireland, not only must that future be built on the basis of peace and non-violence, but we must draw into the process those who previously refused to participate in the democratic process.

		The appeal court judgment, delivered by Lord Carswell, the Lord Chief Justice of northern Ireland, appears at odds with recent judgments given in England by the House of Lords and Lord Woolf, the Lord Chief Justice, and also appears to impugn the integrity of the CCRC.
		The Lords said that the only tribunal of fact was the original trial jury: "trial by jury does not mean trial by jury in the first instance and trial by judges of the Court of Appeal in the secondThe Court of Appealmust not intrude into territory which properly belongs to the jury".
		Lord Woolf had previously held that "if a defendant has been denied a fair trial, it will almost be inevitable that the conviction will be regarded as unsafe".

	Hutton delays report over issue of blame \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		Lord Hutton has delayed publication of his long-awaited report on the events leading to the death of David Kelly because he has yet to apportion final blame on the central figures in the drama, the Guardian learned last night.
		The law lord, who worked over the Christmas and new year break so that he could complete his report by this week, is still writing the document, which is expected to run to between 800 and 1,000 pages.
		Lord Hutton has a reputation for fastidiousness as a law lord and as lord chief justice of Northern Ireland and the delay suggests he is likely to agonise over the exact wording and the attribution of blame.

	The root conflict in the Judge Moore - Ten Commandments conflict in Alabama
		However, after Chief Justice Roy Moore he was ordered to remove the granite monument containing the Decalogue in the Justice Building in Mongomery, AL, he refused to comply.
		But it seems to have been the intent of Chief Justice Moore to display the monument in isolation, perhaps implying that it is the sole origin of America's laws.
		While Chief Justice Moore's arguments may gain a great deal of support among fellow Southerners who might wish that they are valid, it is extremely unlikely that any would be accepted by an American court today.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ireland
		Ireland lies in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Great Britain, from which it is separated in the north-east by the North Channel, in the east by the Irish Sea, and in the south-east by St. George's Channel.
		There was the druid who explained religion, the brehon who dispensed justice, the brughaid or public hospitaller, the bard who sang the praises of his chief or urged his kinsman to battle; and each was an official and had his appointed allotment of land.
		Carlisle, a Presbyterian, was made resident commissioner, and as chief executive officer appointed non-Catholics to the principal offices; and he and his fellow-commissioner, Dr. Whately, the Protestant Archbishop of Dublin, compiled lesson-books, in which the history of Ireland and the Catholic religion were treated with injustice.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| So just who is Lord Hutton?
		Much of that outlook-forming time in Northern Ireland took place during the Troubles, when judges were IRA targets, and lived with their families in a bulletproof, restricted world with little opportunity to encounter anti-establishment, counter-culture views outside the courtroom.
		Lord Saville is in the middle of the Bloody Sunday inquiry, and Lord Scott has already conducted one Iraq-related inquiry, into the Arms to Iraq scandal.
		Back when Hutton made his maiden speech in parliament, a fellow barrister, Lord Lester, said: "He is in that special category of judges from Northern Ireland who are especially brave and noted for their fearless independence." Certainly he has publicly defended the independence of judges, and has not been afraid to go against the authorities.
