Advocates elect Keeper of Library
Mungo Bovey QC has been elected as Keeper of the Advocates Library.
Mr Bovey, who called to the bar in 1984 and became a QC in 1998, has been involved in many of the leading human rights cases of recent years and has appeared in appeals before the House of Lords and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
He is also consultant editor of UK Human Rights Reports and has lectured on the subject in various jurisdictions.
He takes over as Keeper from Stephen Woolman QC who was recently appointed to the bench.
Mr Bovey said: “The Faculty’s status as a centre of excellence depends to a large extent on the excellence of its library. My aim will be to ensure that the Advocates Library will continue its unique role at the centre of Scottish legal life.”
