title: The UK's Supreme Court: how it works and why it exists.
abstract: This article looks at the new Supreme Court. It explains why the judicial House of Lords was replaced by the new Court and how the Court operates. It also explores whether the change of name also involves a change in either the jurisdiction of the court, or its role within the United Kingdom's constitutional arrangements, particularly the relationship between the Judiciary and the other organs of the state, i.e. Parliament and the Executive.
