Lord Neuberger’s new presidency

The former head of the Supreme Court Lord Neuberger is to take on a new presidency, this time at the Academy of Experts

He was appointed deputy president this week by the current incumbent Lord Saville of Newdigate, and will take over as president later this year.

Lord Neuberger said: ‘In seeking to ensure that expert witnesses in court and arbitral proceedings adhere to high standards, the Academy performs a very important role. It is fundamental to the rule of law that legal proceedings are, and are seen to be, professionally and fairly conducted and in this increasingly technical world.’
