10. The Future of the English Legal System
Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. This concluding chapter assesses the future of the English legal system (ELS). It argues that the ELS will continue to grow and develop in order to move with the times. Each development may individually not have such significant impact on the ELS; however, when coupled with the other development, it is more likely that the development may significantly alter people's understanding of the ELS. Change in the ELS may come from political, economic, legal, social, and international factors. The chapter then considers some of the key debates, events, and activities that may shape the future of the ELS. These issues include the UK's membership in the EU, signatory of the European Convention on Human Rights, and transformation of the justice system.
