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.FactsAll Modern British Judges and Legal ScholarsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining CharacteristicWell-attestedModern British judges and legal scholars, working within the hierarchy of courts of England and Wales under a guarantee of continuing judicial independence. 1All Modern British Judges and Legal ScholarsFilter Results19 entriesRoleAllBarrister and judge (2)Former senior judge (1)Judge (4)Jurist (1)Jurist and life peer (1)Lawyer and academic (1)Lawyer and judge (1)Lawyer and politician (Chief Minister of Gibraltar) (1)Legal Scholar and Jurist (1)Life peer and retired barrister and judge (1)Solicitor and human rights activist (1)Nationality or JurisdictionAllBritish (11)English (2)Gibraltar (1)Singaporean (1)United Kingdom (3)Wales (1)Legal SystemAllEnglish Law (5)Law of Singapore (1)Law of the United Kingdom (11)Field of LawAllAdministrative Law (2)Ancient and Customary Law (1)Civil / Private Law (3)Common Law (2)Comparative Law (2)Constitutional Law (1)Criminal Law (8)Human Rights Law (2)International Law (2)Legal Philosophy and Jurisprudence (1)GenderAllFemale (4)Male (14)Court Served OnAllCourt of Appeal of England and Wales (1)High court (1)Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (6)Judicial functions of the House of Lords (1)King's Bench Division (9)Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 19Elizabeth LaneCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsGareth PeirceCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsGeoffrey Lane, Baron LaneCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsGlanville WilliamsCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsHarry Woolf, Baron WoolfCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsHubert Parker, Baron Parker of WaddingtonCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsIan Burnett, Baron Burnett of MaldonCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsIgor Judge, Baron JudgeCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsIvor JenningsCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsJenny Lau Buong BeeCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsJohn Kenyon MasonCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsJohn Thomas, Baron Thomas of CwmgieddCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsJoshua HassanCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsNicholas Phillips, Baron Phillips of Worth MatraversCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsPatrick Devlin, Baron DevlinCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsRobert Goff, Baron Goff of ChieveleyCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsSue Carr, Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-HillCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsThomas Bingham, Baron Bingham of CornhillCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsTom Bingham, Baron Bingham of CornhillCommon Law Founders and CommentatorsSources1.
