Religious Education in Northern Ireland: the Supreme Court decision and its impact | Law & Religion UK
This week’s Supreme Court decision means that we need to rethink religious education and worship in schools in all nations of the UK. The main takeaway of the judgment is that it underlines how parental opt outs will not excuse indoctrination: lawandreligionuk.com/2025/11/20/r...

When open justice undermines public confidence: Scrutinising the Supreme Court
Justice is not a cloistered virtue; she must be allowed to suffer the scrutiny and respectful, even though outspoken, comments of ordinary men
Open justice is supposed to enhance public trust + confidence in the justice system - but in this case it had the opposite effect.
What does the Supreme Court need to do differently to make sure COP observers have a better experience next time?

there were 150 observers exchanging views apparently

The judges (and some of the lawyers) need to know that they (unintentionally, I’m sure) displayed what many observers experienced as discourteous and uncivil attitudes to people with disabilities, and a rather cavalier approach to the day-to-day realities of these people’s lives, and the lives of their families and those who care for them. I hope that this blog post enable them to see themselves as other see them and thereby perhaps to generate for themselves some ideas about how to create a more positive image of the court in future.
Public observers disillusioned and dismayed by what they see in the Supreme Court. Not what judges hope for from open justice!
