The Bundle: all about judges - Lord Bingham, Justice Ginsburg and the CCJ

This week we were sad to hear the news that Lord Bingham had died . Read the obituary and tributes by many including Phillippe Sands QC, Louis Blom-Cooper and Afua Hirsch . Also Michael Posner, US assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, wrote about Ruth Bader Ginsburg for our weekly legal heroes series and we also had a debate about the correct name for the EU's highest court, in light of the decision regarding legal privilege and in-house lawyers .
