'Forward-thinking' Master of the Rolls touted to bring unity and clearer direction to UK's top court
Despite the risk of further indulging the profession's propensity for judicial hagiography, the fact remains that it is hard to find a practitioner unhappy with the appointment of Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger (pictured) as the new president of the Supreme Court.
'Modern', 'unifying' and 'much-liked' are just some of the words that have been used to describe him since his appointment last week, marking a contrast from current president Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, who has been viewed in some sections of the Bar as having struggled to galvanise the UK's highest court at a time when its profile has never been higher.
