Society pays tribute to Lord Rodger

Lord Rodger of Earlsferry, one of the two Scottish justices on the UK Supreme Court sadly died on Sunday 26 June.

In tribute to Lord Rodger, Cameron Ritchie, President of the Law Society of Scotland said:

"Lord Rodger was an eminent and distinguished figure within the Scottish legal profession. He held some of Scotland's most distinguished positions, including Lord Advocate and Lord President, where he demonstrated immense ability and intellect.

"His more recent role as a member of the UK Supreme Court; one of only two Scottish Judges served to underline his considerable contribution, not only to the justice system but to society as a whole.

"Above all he was a great ambassador for the Scottish legal profession and someone who will be greatly missed."
