Lord Chancellor

The Lord Chancellor is a senior official in the UK government who has historically played a key role in the judiciary, legislature, and executive. Traditionally, they are the head of the judicial system, a member of the cabinet, and oversee the courts and legal profession. Today, the role balances political responsibilities with oversight of the justice system, acting as a bridge between government and the courts. While some responsibilities have shifted to other bodies, the Lord Chancellor remains an integral figure in maintaining the independence and efficiency of the UK's legal and constitutional framework.
