Supreme Court justice Lord Sumption will address students this evening at AC Grayling's £18,000-a-year New College of the Humanities (NCH) in a "colloquium" on philosophy and law...
Eton-educated Sumption's decision to speak at the NCH – which has been described as "an Oxbridge for those who can’t get into Oxbridge" – is the latest example of his relaxed position on social mobility...
Last year, he followed up his lucrative involvement in the Abramovich v Berezovsky case (for which he earned a reported £5m) by urging undergraduates to take the longer, more expensive conversion course route into law.
He was sworn in in January 2012. He's way beyond newly appointed!
