They preserve the UK public record, and make it accessible. Their expert advice and guidance help members of the public and researchers of all kinds to study the information held in our collection, and to explore the history of our nation and their own ancestors.

3. The UK Statute Law Database: http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/Home.aspx. The UK Statute Law Database (SLD) is the official revised edition of the primary legislation of the United Kingdom made available online. The new site brings together legislation from SLD with the 'as enacted' legislation currently published on the website to provide a single legislation service that will replace the current services. The SLD website will remain in place until all content and functionality is available on the new site. There are a few Acts that have not yet been migrated from SLD. These will be loaded onto the new site over the next month. Some functionality currently available on SLD is not yet available on legislation.gov.uk (full content search, 'Geographical Extent' and 'Point in Time' advanced search options, 'Confers Power' and 'Blanket Amendment' information).

4. The Judiciary of England and Wales: http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/. This section tells you how the judiciary is organised and governed, who speaks out for judges and what 'judicial independence' really means. You can also find out more about individual types of judge, including where they sit, the types of cases they hear, how they are appointed and what they wear in court. Lord Judge: “To be the judges and magistrates ... we need to be intelligent, knowledgeable about the law, but more importantly perhaps, wise in the ways of the world, sensitive to others from different backgrounds to our own, fair and open-minded and balanced, independent in spirit, courageous to do what is right even when it will be unpopular: perhaps indeed most of all when it will be unpopular, whether with politicians, the executive, or the media.”
