Citations edit

The comment about Baroness Hale being the least cited judge seems entirely gratuitous and should be deleted, in my opinion 80.69.30.244 (talk) 14:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I disagree, but I think the statement requires a source. Johnhousefriday (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Note about guest lecture edit

I'm sure Baroness Hale gives many guest lectures, is it really notable to include within this article. 2A02:C7D:25DE:EA00:D866:EBC9:F3F3:712C (talk) 03:01, 15 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Chinese edit

Why precisely is Baroness Hale's name translated into Chinese? Does she have a connection to China? If not the Chinese translation should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Copperknickers (talkcontribs) 23:41, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thought the same ... and done. -- 194.207.146.167 (talk) 12:13, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
She does, as a matter of fact, as a non-permanent judge on the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. Atchom (talk) 02:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Julian Farrand edit

I think he's bigger in the world of law than you realise and deserves a page of his own. Fuficius Fango (talk) 12:27, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Fuficius Fango. I think you are correct. Please see your User talk page, where I have responded in more detail. Thank you for identifying this omission from Wikipedia!--FeralOink (talk) 22:00, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Frog supporters edit

We speak of frog supporters, yet there aren’t any on the image. Can anyone please help out? -- Y not? 14:59, 27 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

The image only shews the escutcheon, not the full achievement which would include the supporters. DuncanHill (talk) 15:18, 27 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
I too would like to see the frog supporters, Y! I will search for images that include the heraldry achievement, to see if any are available for inclusion in Commons or en.wiki, and this article. Thank you, DuncanHill, for clarifying.--FeralOink (talk) 22:06, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Coat of arms edit

There was previously a section about her coat of arms. Why has this been removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.199.59.162 (talk) 08:20, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a revision where her CoA was listed on the article? If so, could you link it? Balag12 (talk) 10:21, 25 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removal of Retirement Claim for HK CoA edit

I have removed a line from the introductory paragraph, which, relying on a Guardian interview, claimed she had stepped down as non-permanent Justice of the Hong Kong Court of Appeals on the 31st of January. This is not reflected on either the official court website, nor any news articles formally confirming the retirement. Balag12 (talk) 10:17, 25 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Feminist jurisprudence edit

I found this source [1] that commented on feminist jurisprudence within the supreme court and noted Hales contribution. Do you think this would be relevant here.

I think this paragraph from the source makes a strong argument for this being WP:DUE

Lady Hale is a prominent and self-identified feminist judge.14 Her feminist ‘set pieces’– often, though not always, in cases involving ‘women’s issues’ – are well known and widely discussed.15

Appointment to the Supreme Court edit

Jack Straw didn't nominate her to the Supreme Court, she got it automatically under section 24(a) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 because she was a Law Lord. I've removed the "nominator2" parameter from the infobox. Richard75 (talk) 02:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
