The Pursuit of Justice prints for the first time a collection of lectures and papers written and delivered by Lord Woolf since 1986, following his retirement in 2005 from the office of Lord Chief Justice and a judicial career that has spanned over four decades.
The papers cover developments that have occurred in a variety of legal areas, and which continue to be relevant in a changing world, including the rule of law and the constitution, the role of judges, access to justice, human rights, medicine, the environment, crime and penal reform, and legal education. Each paper discusses the challenges that have arisen in English common law in recent times and the way they have been solved or attempted to be solved to ensure that justice is done: so that arrests and searches are made properly; that there are fair hearings; readily available lawful remedies; and the removal of unnecessary costs and delays.

Industry Reviews

An intriguing insight into the minds of one of the country's leading lawyers....Woolf is an exceptional talent and his papers provide a delightful and easy commentary on the judicial and legal reforms of recent decades....This book should be a required read for any student intent on a career in law. `While Woolf is clearly no radical, The Pursuit of Justice is nevertheless a considered and clearly written book which gives an excellent insight in to a reasoned and liberal figure in a field that is clouded by misinformation and ignorance.' Ian Sinclair . Morning Star. Lord Woolf's stimulating collection of essays and lectures, published this week as The Pursuit of Justice. `Lord Woolf has given shape and colour to British law and the legal system on a grand scale. He has with great distinction held office as Master of the Rolls, Lord Chief Justice, and a Lord of Appeal. He has been an immensley influential judge across the whole canvas of law and the legal system. He has delivered many volumes of judgements that have changed and clarified law (often followed all over the Commonwealth), and has changed prison policy, completely redesigned the civil justice process (the Woolf Reforms), and presided over major criminal justice reform. In his support of the independence of the judiciary in the UK and other countries, he has acted with incalcuable energy.' Gary Slapper, Professor of Law and Dirctor of the Centre for Law, Open University
