Roundtable on Specialist Knowledge on Courts and Tribunals
Monday 27 November
A programme provided by UCL Judicial Institute in association with The Legal Education Foundation and the Nuffield Foundation.
The broad aim of the roundtable is to explore whether the use of social and scientific knowledge in courts and tribunals can be improved.
The discussion will focus on the practical challenges in obtaining, understanding and using scientific knowledge in different jurisdictions and as between adversarial and inquisitorial processes.
Discussion will also explore the appetite of judges for better access to research and analysis that is peer reviewed and accepted by professional colleagues a) for application in guidance cases, and b) for other purposes beyond case-specific adjudication: for example to better understand case-loads/operation of the system and the outcomes of judicial decisions.
