About Rayner Goddard, Baron Goddard

William Edgar Rayner Goddard, Baron Goddard, was Lord Chief Justice of England from 1946 to 1958, known for his strict sentencing and mostly conservative views despite being the first Lord Chief Justice to be appointed by a Labour government, as well as the first to possess a law degree. Goddard's no-nonsense reputation was reflected in a number of nicknames that he acquired, which included: "The Tiger", "Justice-in-a-jiffy", and – from Winston Churchill – "Lord God-damn". He is considered one of the last hanging judges.
