List of judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales


The ordinary judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales are the Lord Justices of Appeal and Lady Justices of Appeal. These puisne judges serve with the ex officio members of the court:
Judges of the Court of Appeal are made members of the Privy Council within months of appointment, enabling them to serve as members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and entitling them to the style The Right Honourable. Because all members of the court are appointed to the Privy Council, that style is omitted, but new Lords and Lady Justice awaiting appointment to the Privy Council are noted.

Judges appointed before 31 March 1995 are excepted and may wait to retire at 75.
