"Enemies of the People": judges, the media and the mythic Lord Chancellor

Abstract

Reflects on critical media responses to the ruling in R. (on the application of Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union (SC). Discusses the history of such criticism, whether it may harm judicial independence, and whether criticism of the Lord Chancellor's response to the media by part of the legal profession is misguided, owing to the changing nature of the office. Suggests why judges must be their own media managers.
