William Finlay, 2nd Viscount Finlay [SEP] Introduction
William Finlay, 2nd Viscount Finlay, (15 October 1875 – 30 June 1945) was a British judge and peer who served as a Lord Justice of Appeal from 1938 to 1945. The son of Lord Chancellor Finlay, William Finlay was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, before being called to the English bar in 1901. He became a King's counsel in 1914, a High Court judge in 1924, and a Lord Justice of appeal in 1938. Finlay's rapid rise to professional prominence was accompanied by accusations of nepotism, though his competence was not questioned. In 1929, he inherited his father's peerages, becoming the second and last Viscount Finlay.
