    As a self-described superfan of Parliament this is a momentous occasion... Thanks for mentioning me in Court Closures Debate in last week. Important discussion re access to justice and future of the magistracy!

    None of this is rocket science. We've identified practical solutions to many of the problems faced by employed magistrates. The future of the magistracy is its diversity - we hope the paper goes some way to improve support for a vitally important part of the judiciary.

    Rose Heilbron became the first female Recorder in Eng & Wales 65 years ago today. She was also the first female judge to sit at the Old Bailey, and was made a QC at age 34.

    These are the minutes from a 2015 BBC Trust meeting where I argued against moving to online only. BBC3 is a channel aimed at 18-35 y/os & I was the only member of the panel in that age group. I guess this is why representation is important.
