A HIGH Court judge has been quizzed by pupils at his former school, Bradford Grammar.

Sir Stephen Morris spent the day at the Frizinghall school, where pupils in Years 5 and 6 heard about his career, and how the law works, including why judges wear wigs and the roles that jurors play.

"How do you choose a juror?" and "how are judges appointed?" were among the questions Sir Stephen faced.

Bradford-born Sir Stephen sits in the Queen’s Bench Division hearing serious criminal cases in the Royal Courts of Justice in London. He read law at Cambridge and was appointed a Justice of the High Court in 2016.

Richard Ribeiro, headmaster at Bradford Grammar Junior School, said: “Sir Stephen was incredibly engaging and was a huge hit with our Year 5 and 6 pupils who had their lists of questions ready for him. They thoroughly enjoyed his talk and we’re really grateful that he spent so much time with us, inspiring the next generation of legal minds.”

Sir Stephen also gave a talk to senior school pupils about a career in the law.
