Lord Mayor's dinner for the Judiciary - The Mansion House Speech
Speech by Lord Judge, Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales
13/07/2010
Thank you for your thoughtful speech, for the analysis of the issues of importance to the City in the context of major civil disputes, for the plug for the City and Mayor’s Court and the opening of the Rolls Building next year. Not so long ago a letter was sent by the Headmaster of a boys Prep School to a daring military man who had given away the prizes and spoken to the boys. I am quoting from the letter:
"The boys thought it was cool.
The fathers would have followed you into battle.
The mothers would have followed you anywhere."
