Litigators: Survive and thrive



It is a pleasure to have been asked to give the keynote address to your conference this morning. It is my first such address as Master of the Rolls, and I particularly welcome this early opportunity to say a few words about the Jackson reforms and to do so at The Law Society. It seemed to me particularly important that I do so, and do so here - not least because of the long historical relationship which exists between the Society and the Master of the Rolls. I say not least because it seems to me that at the present time - perhaps more so than before - it is crucially important for the judiciary and the legal profession - as far as they properly can do - to work together to ensure that this period of unprecedented change is one in which we increase effective access to justice.
