Law
Privacy invasion and digital crime pose new challenges for the lawmakers and enforcers of the 21st century, with the courts and their leaders emerging as new champions and arbiters of the people and the government.

From the Supreme Court to local magistrates, and with EU, Scottish, and English laws in force, the members of this list best represent the UK’s legal system at large.
