    Hi jessica - I can't speak for London but I have been a couple of times in Nottingham and anyone can just go to the court read what's on in each court room and go in the one you find most interesting. I'm sure there are hearings which may need to be private but I did not encounter any.

    I hate them (with passion)! I believe they probably do work in terms of filtering candidates out, but I really don't think a VI performance is a true reflection of a candidate's skills or worth.
