Lady Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond, was the judge who led the Supreme Court in its landmark ruling over the suspension of Parliament. 

 In this episode she talks of being a “speccy swot”; how it felt as the lone woman at the top of judiciary; on relations and disagreements with her colleagues; and about the impact of Brexit on the power of the judiciary. 

The interview is conducted by Frances Gibb, journalist and former legal editor of The Times, for a landmark podcast series, The Judges: Power, Politics and the People, hosted by The University of Law.
