What's in your stocking this Christmas? A judicial appointment

Have been quiet, because have been busy, the Barrister's boon and the Blogger's curse.

Spotted a High Court appointment:


The Queen has been pleased to approve the appointment of Ms. Alison Hunter Russell, Q.C., to be a Justice of the High Court with effect from 13 January 2014.



The Lord Chief Justice will assign Ms. Russell to the Family Division.


Miss Russell, 55, was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn in 1983 and took Silk in 2008. She was appointed a Recorder in 2004 and is approved to sit as a deputy High Court Judge.
