The first Welshman to be appointed as a Justice of the Supreme Court is set to give a lecture.

The Rt Hon Lord Lloyd-Jones, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, will deliver a lecture at Wrexham University next month on the topic of how judgments are made, particularly in appeal courts.

The event will take place at the Nick Whitehead Theatre within the university on Friday, November 8, starting at 2pm.

Lord Lloyd-Jones will present a lecture titled ‘The Judgment of the Court’.

Lord Lloyd-Jones said: "It is a privilege to have been invited to give a lecture at Wrexham University, as part of their series of Cyril Oswald Jones Law Lectures, and I greatly look forward to my visit to the university."

A legal scholar from Pontypridd and a Welsh speaker, Lord Lloyd-Jones has been a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom since October 2017.

He is also the president of the Law Council of Wales, which addresses issues related to legal education and the development of the legal professions in Wales.

The lecture is supported by the university’s Cyril Oswald Jones Law Bursary, which was established after the late Francis Glynne-Jones made a significant donation to the institution in 2022.

The donation was in memory of his grandfather Cyril Oswald Jones, his father Hywel Glynne-Jones, and his brother Colin Glynne-Jones, all former presidents of the Chester and North Wales Law Society.

The fund is being used over a 10-year period to help 'gifted' Wrexham University law students pursue a career in the profession by covering their course fees.

Dylan Rhys Jones, head of law and senior lecturer at Wrexham University, said: "We are delighted that the Right Hon Lord Lloyd-Jones will be giving a lecture, here at the university.

"He is an inspiration to many and I know that his talk will be an extremely fascinating one.

"I would strongly encourage any law students or local people working in the legal profession to come along, as well as those interested in a career in law."
