- Conducted 2015-19 (part funded by a BA/Leverhulme Senior Fellowship), this research combines legislation, case law, parliamentary reports, court rules and secondary literature with extensive original empirical research, to produce the most comprehensive account to-date of security-cleared Special Advocates’ role in closed judicial proceedings. Quantitative case data were supplemented with 40 semi-structured interviews canvassing UK-based lawyers and judges experienced in closed procedures. The Special Advocate Support Office facilitated access to security-sensitive information. Seventeen further interviews with legal practitioners experienced in special advocate procedures in Canada, USA and at the Hague Special Tribunal for Lebanon, provide comparative context.
