Lord Justice Lawrence Collins has become the first solicitor to be appointed an appeal court judge. Collins, who was a litigation partner at Herbert Smith between 1971 and 2000, was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal following recommendation from the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer. In 1997, Collins was one of the first solicitors to benefit from new arrangements entitling solicitors to apply to become Queens Counsel. He then became the first solicitor to be directly appointed to the High Court bench, which he joined in 2000. Legalweek.com (12 January).
