National Justice Museum celebrates the life of its patron Lord Judge. Lord Judge was the former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales and patron of our organisation.
Sadly Lord Judge passed away earlier this week. Mich Stevenson OBE, founding chair of the museum’s board said ‘he was a truly exceptional man’. Professor Paul Bowden, current chair of the board of trustees said ‘ Lord Judge was a very kind friend and mentor to everyone at the museum and he will be very much missed’.
