  • Jocelyn Edward Salis Simon, Baron Simon of Glaisdale, QC, DL, PC (15 January 1911 – 7 May 2006) known as Jack Simon, was as a Law Lord in the United Kingdom, having been, by turns, a barrister, a commissioned officer in the British Army, a barrister again, a Conservative Party politician, a government minister, and a judge. He held three ministerial positions in the government of Harold Macmillan, during his 11-year tenure as a member of the House of Commons. He also served as President of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division of High Court for nine years, and was a Law Lord for 6 years before his retirement in 1977. Simon's appointment, as of 2011, marks the last appointment of a former member of the House of Commons as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (although Reginald Manningham-Buller, 1st Viscount Dilhorne, appointed prior to Simon but retiring after Simon, was the last serving Law Lord to have previously served in the Commons. ) As noted by The Independent in his obituary, "Jack Simon was the last of a breed of judges who first pursued a successful career in politics before promotion to the Bench."
