Benchmarks: Two Common Law Judicial Systems Divided by History
5:00pm – 6:30pm on Tuesday 15 July 2025 at the University of Liverpool School of Law & Social Justice Event Space
Moderated by Professor Fiona Beveridge, Judge Wendy Beetlestone and Judge Mark Cawson, both Liverpool graduates and past sabbatical officers of the Guild of Undergraduates, will discuss the commonalities and differences around their respective roles as judges sitting in the US and the UK.
They will discuss the Rule of Law, the foundational principle underpinning both countries’ jurisprudence, and, with the benefit of their experiences, discuss issues such as judicial appointment and independence, differences in civil and criminal procedure, judicial manner, access to justice and diversity of the judiciary, as well as reflecting on the contrast between life on the Bench and practice as lawyers.
