Lady Justice Rose has been appointed to the Supreme Court, following the retirement of Lady Black in January.

Rose LJ will join the court on 13 April.

Welcoming the appointment, president of the Supreme Court Lord Reed said: ‘Having spent a substantial part of her career working in government and Parliament, LJ Rose will add significantly to the diversity of experience on the court.

‘Her outstanding legal ability and breadth of experience will be invaluable.’

Dame Vivien Rose was called to the Bar in 1984 and was in practice at Monckton Chambers for ten years. She joined the Government Legal Service in 1995, advising HM Treasury and Minister of Defence, and spent three years at the Office of Counsel to the Speaker of the House of Commons.

She has served as a tribunal judge, recorder in the criminal jurisdiction and Chancery Division judge, and was appointed to the Court of Appeal in 2019.
