Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales
The
Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales
is the head of the
judiciary and President of the Courts of England and Wales
. Historically, he was the second-highest judge of the
Courts of England and Wales
, after the
Lord Chancellor
, but became the top judge as a result of the
Constitutional Reform Act 2005
, which removed the judicial functions from the office of Lord Chancellor and altered the duties of the Lord Chief Justice and changed the relationship between the two offices. The Lord Chief Justice is also President of the Criminal Division of the
Court of Appeal
.
