Lady Simler, justice of the Supreme Court, has been appointed president of the Expert Witness Institute (EWI), replacing Lord Hodge, who is retiring

She practised law at Devereux Chambers before becoming a High Court judge in 2013, President of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2015, Lady Justice in 2019 and Justice in 2023.

Lady Simler said: ‘There is a strong public interest in the work performed by experts and the justice system depends on expert evidence being both impartial and of the highest quality it can be. The EWI has an important role to play in supporting this.’
