High-court judge Sir Terence Etherton has been made a Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal - the second-highest court in England and Wales.
Sir Terence, 57, was promoted partly in recognition of his work as chairman of the Law Commission for England, Wales and Ireland, in addition to his service in the High Court.
He tells People: "It's a great honour to be appointed to the Court of Appeal. It reflects that high standing of the Law Commission and the reports we produce."
A graduate of Cambridge University, Sir Terence was called to the Bar by Gray's Inn in 1974 and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1990.
