Bencher (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

A bencher or Master of the Bench is a senior member of an Inn of Court in England and Wales or the Inns of Court in Northern Ireland, or the Honorable Society of King's Inns in Ireland. Benchers hold office for life once elected. A bencher can be elected while still a barrister (usually, but not always, King's Counsel in the UK or Senior Counsel in Ireland), in recognition of the contribution that the barrister has made to the life of the Inn or to the law. Others become benchers as a matter of course when appointed as a High Court judge. The Inn may elect non-members as honorary benchers – for example, distinguished judges and lawyers from other countries, eminent non-lawyers or (in the English Inns) members of the British Royal Family, who become known as "Royal Benchers" once elected.

dbo:abstract A bencher or Master of the Bench is a senior member of an Inn of Court in England and Wales or the Inns of Court in Northern Ireland, or the Honorable Society of King's Inns in Ireland. Benchers hold office for life once elected. A bencher can be elected while still a barrister (usually, but not always, King's Counsel in the UK or Senior Counsel in Ireland), in recognition of the contribution that the barrister has made to the life of the Inn or to the law.

The Inn may elect non-members as honorary benchers – for example, distinguished judges and lawyers from other countries, eminent non-lawyers or (in the English Inns) members of the British Royal Family, who become known as "Royal Benchers" once elected. One member of each Inn is the Treasurer, a position which is held for one year only. While succession to the post of Treasurer was once dependent purely on seniority (or auncienty), this is no longer the case. The Treasurer is now elected. Two Readers are also elected each year. (en) Un bencher o Master of the Bench è un membro anziano della Inn of Court in Inghilterra, Galles e Irlanda. Una volta eletto mantiene la carica a vita. Può essere eletto quando è ancora un barrister (di solito, ma non sempre, nel Queen's Counsel), in riconoscimento del contributo che l'avvocato ha dato nella vita dell'Inn o alla legge. Altri diventano bencher come una conseguenza alla nomina di giudice dell'. L'Inn può eleggere i non soci come bencher onorari; per esempio, i giudici e gli avvocati illustri provenienti da altri paesi, eminenti personaggi non avvocati o membri della British Royal Family, che sono noti come "Royal Bencher" una volta eletti. Un membro di ogni Inn è il Tesoriere, una posizione che si tiene per un solo anno. Mentre la successione alla carica di tesoriere una volta dipendeva esclusivamente dall'anzianità, oggi non è più così in quanto viene eletto. (it)
