The UK Supreme Court’s Ask a Justice programme returns for the 2023/24 academic year, giving schools the opportunity to have a live question and answer session with a justice from their own classroom.

The sessions provide a unique insight into the work of the justices and is excellent for pupils and students with a keen interest in the law.

The programme is open to accredited teaching institutions (schools or colleges) for years 12 to 14 in Northern Ireland, S5 and S6 students in Scotland, and years 11 to 13 in England and Wales.

Applications are now open and close on the Friday 13th of October.

Priority will be given to applications from educational institutions who have not visited the Supreme Court before and those located at a considerable distance from the London area (Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales).

In England, schools from the following areas of multiple deprivation are encouraged to apply: Middlesbrough; Liverpool; Knowsley; Kingston upon Hull; Manchester; Blackpool; Birmingham; Burnley; Blackpool with Darwen and Hartlepool.
