Lord Justice Clerk

So, do you know what a judge is? Someone who makes decisions about the law and tells people what to do if they break it.

Well, a Lord Justice Clerk is a really important judge in Scotland. They are the second highest judge in the country, just under the Lord President of the Court of Session.

The Lord Justice Clerk helps make sure that people follow the laws of Scotland. They also work with other judges to decide what the laws should be and how they should be applied.

In court, they wear a special outfit and wig. They listen to people talk about what they did or what happened to them, and then they use their knowledge of the law to make a fair decision.

So, think of a Lord Justice Clerk as a really important judge in Scotland who helps make sure that everyone follows the rules and that everything is fair.
