Recent high profile extradition cases, in particular the case of solicitor Michael Lynn, have got me thinking about what is a hugely important, yet little-important legal process. Like most people, I had heard of extradition and had a rough idea of its meaning and purpose, but never really understood the system’s inner workings. I thought the writing a blog post on a topical legal issue to be an ideal opportunity to explore the mechanics of extradition in greater detail.  In this post, I would like to share with you what I learned and how this relates to the case of Michael Lynn.
