'The Governance of Britain: Judicial Appointments' examines the role of the executive in judicial appointments in light of the doctrine of the separation of powers and a series of fundamental principles that the Government considers should form the basis of any judicial appointments process. It also considers experience in a range of other countries. The paper outlines possible options for further reform of the executive's role in judicial appointments, and considers options for involving Parliament. It follows on from the the 'Governance of Britain' Green Paper, which was published in July 2007. Deadline for responses: 17 January 2008.
