Summary
Northern Ireland’s top judge, Lady Chief Justice Siobhan Keegan, is sounding the alarm over rampant speculation and premature commentary on ongoing court cases, warning that such behavior erodes public trust in the justice system. She’s urging media, social platforms, and influencers to stop weighing in before verdicts are reached — because justice must be based solely on courtroom evidence, not outside noise. While she supports greater transparency through court broadcasting — a reform delayed by legislative hurdles — she stresses it must be done responsibly to avoid bias. To combat delays and backlogs, she’s pushing for early case resolutions, especially in criminal matters, and exploring how AI can assist courts without replacing human judgment — all aimed at making justice faster, fairer, and more accessible.
