We are delighted to announce that Her Majesty the Queen has appointed the Master, Professor Jane Stapleton, an Honorary Queen’s Counsel (QC Honoris Causa).
Honorary QCs are awarded by exercise of the sovereign's royal prerogative to recognise those in the legal profession who have made a major contribution to, and impact on, the law of England and Wales and how it is advanced, outside the courtroom.
The Lord Chancellor will preside over the appointment ceremony at Westminster Hall on 16th March 2020, where he will formally bestow the title of QC upon the Master and other new QCs.
