Lord Chancellor.
We already know what is the Lord Chancellor but we don't know about his duties. The Lord Chancellor has a specific responsibility to uphold the rule of law in the United Kingdom. He is responsible for the efficient functioning and independence of the courts {courts is a form of tribunal often a governmental institution with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry our the administration of justice}
Judges are
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as part of a panel of judges. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. The judge is supposed to conduct the trial impartially and in an open court. The judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the parties of the case, assesses the credibility and arguments of the parties, and then issues a ruling on the matter at hand based on his or her interpretation of the law and his or her own personal judgment. a judge might also be an examining magistrate{an examining magistrate is a judge who carries out investigations into cases}.
They are Judges but they also have rules. The Judges' Rules are a set of guidelines about police and questioning and the acceptability of the resulting statements and confessions as evidence in court.They are expected to abstain from political activity, Judges are disqualified from membership in the House of Commons,but if they are peers they can and do play a part in the work of the House of Lords.All superior court judges{exept the Lord Chancellor}have security of tenure.Judges of the High Court and the Court of Appeal and Lords of Appeal in Ordinary hold office during good behaviour.They may be removed from office by the Queen on an address presented to her by both Houses of Parliament.Other Judges may be removed from office by the Lord Chancellor for inability or misbehaviour.In practice they are never removed without good reason.
Judges' duties depend on their jurisdiction. Municipal court judges, administrative law judges, general trial court judges and appellate court judges all have different duties but here are some common duties.
Judges must perform their duties without favoritism, bias, partiality or prejudice. Judges must begin court sessions on time not for efficiency purposes but to gain confidence of the litigants.
The House of Lords-The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster The Speaker-The officer whose duty is to preside over the debates of one of the Houses of Parliament M.P-A member of Parliament Superior Judiciary-Judges of the superior courts Superior Courts-Is a court of general competence which typically has unlimited jurisdiction with regard to civil and criminal legal cases.
Justice should not only be done ,but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.
