2014 Summer Exhibition at the UK Supreme Court

  • 1 August — 25 September 2014

Visitors to the free exhibition at the Supreme Court in Parliament Square will be introduced to the story of its international sister court, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) which was formerly the highest court of appeal for most colonies of the British Empire, and today still serves around 30 Commonwealth countries and British Overseas Territories. The summer exhibition covers the history of the JCPC from its modern formation in 1833 to the emergence of the Commonwealth in the 1950s, featuring intriguing past legal cases and personal stories from across the former British Empire. Visitors will also be able to look around the Supreme Court’s beautiful grade II listed building and view the neo-gothic architecture plus paintings from the Middlesex Guildhall Art Collection displayed in the courtrooms.
