In addition to Professor Richard Fentiman's appointment as a QC Honoris Causa, the Faculty also warmly welcomes the appointment of a large number of Cambridge graduates as Queen's Counsel.
Also appointed Queen’s Counsel honoris causa was Professor Mads Andenas. Professor Andenas, an alumnus of Jesus College, received his PhD from the Faculty in 1996, and is currently Professor at the University of Oslo.
The Lord Chancellor will preside over the appointment ceremony, where the rank will formally be bestowed upon successful applicants, at Westminster Hall on 11 March 2019. Further details are available from the Ministry of Justice website.
