Interview with Lord Justice Etherton

19/2/2013

 
Judicial diversity, accessibility, and evolution of social values are dominant features in the contemporary study of law. The Birkbeck Law Review was fortunate enough to spend time with Lord Justice Etherton, the newly appointed Chancellor of the High Court, yesterday in a wide-ranging interview to be published in our upcoming edition.

Sir Terence, the first openly gay judge to be appointed to the high echelons of the judiciary, formerly served as head of the Law Commission and was made an Appeal Court judge in 2008. We spoke at length about themes concerning judicial reform, changing social norms, and his personal insight into evolution of the judicial system in England and Wales.

During the interview, held Monday morning at the Rolls Building, he also advised law students to keep an open mind regarding future career choices for their valuable law degrees, and suggested that becoming a barrister or solicitor was not necessarily the only, or best, available option.

The full transcript of the interview, with a foreword by Editor Edward Chin, will be available in the April edition of the Birkbeck Law Review
