Courts and Tribunals Observers’ Network

We are pleased to publish our report following the Courts and Tribunals Access and Observation Workshop held at Green Templeton College, University of Oxford. Our report discusses challenges of court observation and issues of public participation in the courtroom, where some of the key questions are: ‘access to what, by whom, and what can you do with it?’. Our discussion was informed by myriad perspectives, across professional background (legal practice, civil society / not-for-profit organisations, journalism, academia, legal information and publishing) as well as jurisdictional interest within England and Wales: Civil, Criminal, Family (including Court of Protection).
