Introductory film
What is the Supreme Court? Why was it established in 2009? And what issues does it hear about?
This introductory film, primarily aimed at GSCE/Standard Grade students, explores the role and the workings of the Supreme Court, the only court with UK-wide jurisdiction and the highest court in the land. It also explains its relationship to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest court for British Overseas Territories and a number of Commonwealth countries.
Taking a look around the Court's home in the grand former Middlesex Guildhall, in Parliament Square, the film also gives a glimpse of what you can expect to see on a visit here.
