Sir Adrian Bruce Fulford (born 8 January 1953), styled The Rt Hon. Lord Justice Fulford, is a Lord Justice of Appeal and as of 1st January 2016, is the Senior Presiding Judge for England and Wales. Previously, he was a judge of the International Criminal Court in The Hague from 2003-12.
Fulford was born on 8 January 1953. He was educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey and went up to the University of Southampton, gaining a LL.B. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple as a barrister in 1978, and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1994.
Fulford was made a Recorder of the Crown Court in 1995 (re-appointed in 2001). His appointment as a High Court judge on 21 November 2002 was the first for an openly homosexual QC.
He was appointed to the Queen's Bench Division and received the customary knighthood. Though he became a judge of the International Criminal Court in 2003, Fulford continued his work at the High Court, presiding over a number of high-profile cases. Among these were the 21 July 2005 London bombings trial, the trial of terrorist plotter Saajid Badat and the trial of PC Simon Harwood. Fulford's term on the ICC ended on 11 March 2012.
