A lecture by Lord Bingham of Cornhill
Samuel Johnson is best remembered as a lexicographer, poet and critic; yet he wanted to be a lawyer. In this talk, Lord Bingham highlights Johnson’s interest and involvement in the eighteenth-century legal world from his appearance as a character witness in a murder trial to his theoretical discussions on law drawn out by his great biographer James Boswell.
Lord Bingham is Senior Law Lord, that is the most senior judge in the House of Lords, the UK’s “Supreme Court”. He was Master of the Rolls from 1992-1996, and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 1996-2000. He is a bencher of Gray’s Inn.
