Incident → evidence → outcomeA new exhibition, 'Justice Without Limits', has opened its doors at the Royal Courts of Justice in the City of London. The display aims to recognise the contributions and experiences of individuals with medical conditions or disabilities who are employed within the justice system. Organised by His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS), the exhibition presents each participant's personal narrative, highlighting the diversity of their journeys and fostering a greater understanding of the challenges they have encountered and overcome.
Judiciary voices featured
Among the featured individuals are members of the judiciary. Rebecca, a Tribunal Judge in the Social Entitlement Chamber, shares her experiences with Crohn's disease. Rahim, a District Judge (Magistrates' Court) and a Disability Qualified Tribunal Member, discusses living with both visible and non-visible conditions. Their accounts are part of a broader collection of stories from across the judiciary, the legal profession, and HMCTS staff.
Exhibition launch reception
The exhibition's opening was marked by a reception hosted on Tuesday 27 October by the Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill. Addressing attendees, Baroness Carr emphasised the unique nature of each individual's experience with disability. She noted the variety of participants, some of whom have lived with conditions since childhood, others with lifelong illnesses diagnosed later, and some whose conditions developed in adulthood. This diversity, she stated, illustrates that there is no single way to experience or live with disability.
“I hope that everyone visiting this exhibition, whether they have a disability or not, takes encouragement from these stories and sees a role for themselves in the justice system.”
Baroness Carr expressed her hope that the exhibition would encourage all visitors, regardless of their own experiences with disability, to see opportunities for themselves within the justice system. The exhibition is scheduled to remain on display in the Great Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice until 21 December 2026. It is open to the public, and a virtual version is also available online for those unable to attend in person.
