Two high school students have been handed rare internships at Liverpool Crown Court in memory of a much-loved judge.
Sir David Maddison served as a circuit judge at the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts between 1992 and 2003, when he became the Honorary Recorder of Manchester. He served as a High Court judge from 2008 - the year in which he was also knighted - until his retirement in 2012, but continued to sit in the Court of Appeal until 2017.
The ardent Liverpool FC fan died in 2019 at the age of 72. Earlier this year, the Maddison Internship - which will see youngsters shadow various members of staff across the building to get a full flavour of the court system - was set up in his name in partnership with Everton in the Community and the Anthony Walker Foundation.
