‘Nine new High Court judges have been named this week, all but one of whom attended Oxford or Cambridge universities. The Judicial Appointments Commission said that, following an open competition launched in November 2018, it received 64 applications and made 17 recommendations for appointment in June 2019. The exercise was open to practitioners with or without previous judicial experience, but all of these appointments have it.’
