“Bydd sicrhau bod Cyngor y Gyfraith yn bodloni ei amcanion uchelgeisiol yn galw am arweiniad. A phwy well i’w arwain na’r un y gwnaeth ei weledigaeth wreiddiol ar gyfer Sefydliad y Gyfraith i Gymru ysbrydoli Comisiwn Thomas i argymell sefydlu Comisiwn y Gyfraith? Ef hefyd wrth gwrs yw’r barnwr uchaf o Gymru sy’n eistedd ar hyn o bryd. Mae’n bleser mawr gen i ddatgan felly fod yr Arglwydd Lloyd-Jones o Oruchaf Lys y Deyrnas Unedig, yn garedig iawn, wedi cytuno i wasanaethu fel Llywydd cyntaf y Cyngor.”
“Ensuring the Law Council meets its ambitious objectives will require leadership, and who better to lead it than the person whose initial vision for an Institute of Welsh Law inspired the Thomas Commission to recommend the Law Council? That person is of course also the most senior sitting judge to come from Wales, so I am delighted to be able to tell you that Lord Lloyd-Jones of the UK Supreme Court has kindly agreed to serve as the inaugural President of the Council.”
