= 2020: Allegations by Lord Hope of Craighead of Judicial Gerrymandering =

Lord Hope of Craighead's diaries have been analysed by academic writer [https://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/people/lewis-graham Lewis Graham.] He highlights three incidents as described by the diary writer as together establishing a "deeply concerning" possibility and pattern of judges being included or excluded from hearing a case based on outcomes to be expected if they were to sit on it. Graham cites consideration by Hope of excluding Northern Irish Lord Kerr from a devolution case; successful lobbying, according to Lord Hope of Craighead, by Lord Hoffmann to exclude Baroness Hale of Richmond from a Jamaican death penalty appeal. Additionally, Lord Judge asked, according to Lord Hope of Craighead, to be included on a miscarriage of justice case in order to further his pre-existing views. While accepting that the account of Lord Hope of Craighead could be doubted, Graham observed that the possibility of it being correct "strikes at the heart of judicial neutrality and procedural fairness".{{Cite web |last=UKCLA |date=2020-06-18 |title=Lewis Graham: Lessons from Lord Hope's Diaries: judicial ideology and panel selection |url=https://ukconstitutionallaw.org/2020/06/18/lewis-graham-lessons-from-lord-hopes-diaries-judicial-ideology-and-panel-selection/ |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=UK Constitutional Law Association |language=en}}
