Document Summary
Pay attention to names, dates, and titles (election in france) for the fill in the blanks on the final. The judiciary will not be an essay question on the final exam. However, a title or a date might be on the final exam. The courts of great britain are not a unified judicial system but rather three separate systems within gb and the northern ireland. England and wales, scotland, and northern ireland are the three separate systems. The house of lords used to be the ultimate appellate court but now it is the supreme court. The court is composed of president and the deputy president and the ten justices of the court. The supreme court justices should retire at age 70 if they were first appointed to the court by the 31st of march after 1895. Law lords could vote as full members but they rarely did so. Heard appeals each day in the chamber.
