In addition to Professor Chrisopher Forsyth'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.
The awards ceremony presided over by the Lord Chancellor would usually take place in March 2021, but given the current global pandemic the ceremony will take place at a later date. Further details are available from the Ministry of Justice website.
