Robert Goff, Baron Goff of Chieveley [SEP] Introduction
He was appointed to the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords in 1986. Goff was born in his mother's family home in Perthshire, Scotland and was raised in Hampshire, England. He obtained a place at New College, Oxford but was called up in December 1944 and served in the Scots Guards in Italy until going to Oxford in October 1948. He earned a first-class degree in Jurisprudence there, and three weeks after receiving his examination results was offered a fellowship at Oxford. He accepted this on condition that he could be called to the Bar first. He was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1951, and appointed Fellow and Tutor at Lincoln College, Oxford and a University Lecturer in Jurisprudence in 1952.
