Shuffling around at the top in time for the start of another Legal Year


Tuesday marks the start of another Legal Year and this year the start of the term of office of the new LCJ -

Sir Roger John Laugharne Thomas - raised to the peerage for the occasion it has been announced (in
line with previous practice!)  

His successor as P of the QBD is to be a frontrunner for the LCJ'ship itself and a man who needs no introduction to the masses - Leveson LJ - a well earned promotion!

Here he is in his other new role as Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University:


Bit of a move around in the provinces as well following the elevation of the Recorder of Greenwich to head up the Old Bailey, and the criminal Resident Judge and DCJ in Manchester's elevations to the High Court - they have all now been replaced:
