Abstract
The legal role played by the House of lords, a historical accident, is a much disputed peculiarity of the British constitutional system. Current political events have brought the Law Lords (I) back into the limelight, with the twelve legal peers once again having to play their role as supreme court judges with the delicate responsibility of exercising complex legal prerogatives that are evolving rapidly (II). The constitutional revolution that took place in Great Britain in the 1990s has so far spared the Law Lords, but it raised considerable discussion on the need to reform their role and how best to achieve this (III), with the aim of completing the current reform of the House of lords and ensuring it functions more democratically.
