  • The Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales is the head of the judiciary of England and Wales. Historically, he was the second-highest judge of the Courts of England and Wales, after the Lord Chancellor, but that changed as a result of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, which removed the judicial functions from the office of Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chief Justice is also the presiding judge of the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal. The first Lord Chief Justice to act as head of the judiciary after the Lord Chancellor relinquished that role was Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers. Under the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, the Lord Chief Justice is chosen by a specially appointed committee, convened by the Judicial Appointments Commission. The current Lord Chief Justice is Lord Judge, who took over the role on 1 October 2008 following the promotion of Lord Phillips to the position of Senior Law Lord. Until the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 came into force on 3 April 2006, the Lord Chief Justice was also the head of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court. There is now a separate post of President of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court, currently held by Sir Anthony May. Originally, each of the three high common law courts - the King's Bench, the Court of Common Pleas, and the Court of the Exchequer - had its own chief justice. That of the Exchequer Court was styled as the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and that of the Common Pleas was Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, leaving the head of the King's (or Queen's) Bench to be known simply as the Lord Chief Justice. Although the Court of the King's (or Queen's) Bench had existed since 1234, the title of chief justice was not used until 1268. In the intermediary period, one of the justices would be considered the senior judge, and hold a position similar to that later held by the chief justice. The courts, however, were combined in 1875, creating a single Lord Chief Justice of England. The suffix "and Wales", now found in statutes and elsewhere, was unilaterally appended by Lord Bingham between 1996 and 2000. There is also a Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland. The Lord Chief Justice's equivalent in Scotland is the Lord President of the Court of Session, who also holds the post of Lord Justice-General in the High Court of Justiciary.
  • Der Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales ist nach dem Lordkanzler der zweithöchste Richter am Courts of England and Wales und der Vorsitzende Richter sowohl der Strafrechtsabteilung am Berufungsgericht als auch in der Queen’s Bench Division des High Court. Ursprünglich hatten die drei Gerichtshöfe des Common Law, der Court of Common Pleas, der Court of the King’s (or Queen’s) Bench und der Court of the Exchequer jeweils ihren eigenen Chief Justice. Der des Exchequer Court war der Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, der des Common Pleas wurde Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas genannt, allein der Vorsitzende des King’s (or Queen’s) Bench wurde einfach Lord Chief Justice genannt. Die Gerichtshöfe wurden allerdings 1875 zusammengelegt, wodurch nur noch ein Chief Justice übrig blieb. Daneben gibt es auch noch einen Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland. Das schottische Äquivalent zum Lord Chief Justice ist der Lord President of the Court of Session, welcher gleichzeitig auch den Posten des Lord Justice General am High Court of Justiciary besetzt. Zur Zeit ist Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.
  • Le Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales (Président de la Haute Cour d'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles) était, historiquement, le deuxième juge dans la hiérarchie des tribunaux anglais et gallois (Courts of England and Wales) après le Lord Chancelier, le ministre de la Justice. Bien que la Court of the King's (ou Queen's) Bench (Cour supérieure de justice) ait existé dès 1234, le titre de chief justice ne fut pas utilisé avant 1268. La réforme constitutionnelle de 2005 (Constitutional Reform Act 2005) ayant ôté toute fonction judiciaire au Lord Chancelier, le Lord Chief Justice est devenu le chef de la magistrature d'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles. Il est également le président de la division criminelle de la Cour d'appel (Court of Appeal). Avant que la réforme constitutionnelle n'entre en vigueur, le Lord Chief Justice était aussi à la tête de la Queen's Bench Division de la High Court (cour supérieure de justice). Le poste de président de la cour supérieure de justice est désormais distinct et est actuellement tenu par Sir Igor Judge. Depuis la réforme constitutionnelle de 2005, le Lord Chief Justice est maintenant choisi par une commission spécialement nommée, convoquée par la Judicial Appointments Commission. À l'origine, chacune des trois high common law courts (le King's Bench, la Court of Common Pleas, et la Court of the Exchequer) avait son propre président (Chief Justice). Celui de la Exchequer Court était appelé Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer et celui de la Court of Common Pleas simplement Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, tandis que le chef du King's Bench était simplement appelé Lord Chief Justice. La fusion des trois cours en 1875 créa un unique Lord Chief Justice of England. Il existe aussi le Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland (Président de la Haute Cour d'Irlande du Nord). L'équivalent du poste en Écosse est le Lord President of the Court of Session, qui est également Lord Justice-General de la High Court of Justiciary, c'est-à-dire président de la juridiction pénale suprême d'Écosse. Actuellement, le Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales est Lord Phillips of Worth Maltravers qui a succédé le 1 octobre 2005 à Lord Woolf, qui fut le premier Lord Chief Justice à la tête de la magistrature, après que le ministre de la justice, le Lord Chancelier, fut dessaisi de cette fonction.
