| From 2001 to 2004, as Gresham Professor of Law, Richard held a unique set of public interviews with 18 distinguished legal experts. |
| A revised set of transcripts of the interviews is now published as a book - The Susskind Interviews: Legal Experts in Changing Times (Sweet & Maxwell, 2005). To order a copy, click here. |
| The book was launched on 29 September 2005 at Gresham College, by Lord Sutherland, Lord Woolf and Professor Susskind. A web-cast of that event can be viewed by clicking here. |
| With remarkable candour, top judges, barristers, politicians, solicitors, academics, and a leading civil servant discuss major developments of recent years, including the impact of 9/11, proposals to abolish the Lord Chancellor's office and establish a Supreme Court, the collapse of Andersen and Enron, and the Hutton Inquiry. The interviews are supplemented with an introduction by Richard, in which he offers his personal impressions of his distinguished guests. |
| Richard's interviewees were: Lord Woolf, Tony Williams, David Pannick QC, Lord Justice Auld. Michael Bray, Lord Irvine, Lord Bingham, Lord Goldsmith, David Lock, Oliver Letwin MP, Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, Cherie Booth QC, Lord Irvine, Lord Saville, Sir Hayden Phillips, Professor John Gardner, Lord Mackay, Lord Falconer, Professor Vernon Bogdanor, and Lord Woolf. |
| The Susskind Interviews provides unprecedented insight into the thinking of senior legal figures, and offers an invaluable look at the interwoven worlds of law, politics, business and current affairs. |
