Anon at 12:28pm - What is 'woke' about widening the scope for chairs? Why would you assume tht senior lawyers other than Judges and KCs are not competent?

Althoug given that 'woke' simply means being aware of / awake to societal injustices and inequalities it seesm to me that anyone in any kind of judical role ought, by definition, be woke.

There is no suggestion tht anyone unqualified will be appointed, just a recognistion that not all senior lawyers who are uitable for this type of role, become Judges
