Lady Justice Rose will join the bench of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom on April 13, the government announced today.

The Cambridge and Oxford-educated justice, who is Jewish, was recommended by an independent selection commission and was appointed by the queen on the advice of the Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor.

Supreme Court President Lord Reed said: “We at the Supreme Court are delighted that Lady Justice Rose will be joining us as a Justice and look forward to welcoming her to the Court in April.

“Having spent a substantial part of her career working in government and Parliament, Lady Justice Rose will add significantly to the diversity of experience on the court.

“Her outstanding legal ability and breadth of experience will be invaluable in maintaining the high quality of our judgments and our reputation as an international centre of legal excellence.”
