Judging Civil Justice
Hazel Genn
Reviewed by David Cornes
Subject: Administration of justice. Other related subjects: Civil procedure *Arbitration 388 In November and December of 2008, Dame Hazel Genn, Professor of Socio-Legal Studies at University College London, delivered three lectures under the auspices of The Hamlyn Lectures. Two were delivered at University College London and one was delivered at Edinburgh University. In June 2009, a seminar was held at University College London to discuss the issues raised in the Lectures with a distinguished panel, including Lord Woolf, Professor Michael Zander and others. This book, published in 2010, is the product of those Hamlyn Lectures. A short review cannot do justice to the detail and importance of this book but it is hoped that what follows will give a taster of what can be found in its pages.
Hazel Genn has shone a bright torch on to areas of the civil justice system that are rarely discussed openly. Undoubtedly, some of her views are controversial and provocative but they are all the better for that because she causes the reader to accept that fresh debate is needed about things that might otherwise either be taken for granted or ignored. A flavour of what the reader will discover can be found in the chapter headings:
• Introduction: what is civil justice for?
• Civil justice: how much is enough?
• ADR and civil justice: what's justice got to do with it?
• Judges and civil justice
She begins Chapter 1 with a quotation from Lord Diplock: *Arbitration 389 “Every civilised system of government
