All Modern British Judges and Legal Scholars

Modern British Judges and Legal Scholars gathers the twentieth and twenty first century judges, barristers and legal scholars of England and Britain's remaining overseas territories, including several Law Lords and Justices of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, whose careers and scholarship carried the common law tradition forward into the modern era. Distinct from the 18th and 19th Century Commentators grouped elsewhere in this subcategory by birth era rather than by any difference in legal tradition, their judgments and writings on subjects from tort and contract law to constitutional and human rights law remain the common law's own most current authority in England itself.
