List of Queen's Counsel in England and Wales appointed in 1952

Noswall59:


A '''Queen's Counsel''' ([[Post-nominal letters|post-nominal]] '''QC'''), or '''King's Counsel''' (post-nominal '''KC''') during the reign of a [[king]], is an eminent [[lawyer]] (usually a [[barrister]] or [[advocate]]) who is appointed by the [[List of British monarchs|monarch]] to be one of "Her Majesty's Counsel learned in the law." The term is recognised as an [[honorific]]. Appointments are made from within the legal profession on the basis of merit rather than a particular level of experience. Members have the privilege of sitting within the [[Bar (law)|bar]] of court. As members wear silk gowns of a particular design (see [[court dress]]), appointment as Queen's Counsel is known informally as ''taking silk'', and hence QCs are often colloquially called ''silks''.

The rank emerged in the sixteenth century, but came to prominence over the course of the nineteenth. Appointment was open to barristers only until 1995. The first women KCs had been appointed only in 1949. In 1951, 20 people were appointed, all of them men.
