Sir Adrian Bruce Fulford (born 8 January 1953) is a British judge who is a member of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales and was a member of the International Criminal Court in The Hague from 2003 to 2012.

Early life

Fulford was born on 8 January 1953, and educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey and the University of Southampton. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple as a barrister in 1978, and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1994.

Judicial career

Fulford was made a Recorder of the Crown Court in 1995 (re-appointed in 2001). His appointment as a High Court judge on 21 November 2002[1] was the first for an openly homosexual QC.[2] He was appointed to the Queen's Bench Division and received the customary knighthood. Though he became a judge of the International Criminal Court in 2003, Fulford continued his work at the High Court, presiding over a number of high-profile cases. Among these were the 21 July 2005 London bombings trial,[3] the trial of terrorist plotter Saajid Badat[4] and the trial of PC Simon Harwood. Fulford's term on the ICC ended on 11 March 2012. On 11 May 2012, Fulford imposed a whole life order on David Oakes, who was convicted at the Crown Court at Chelmsford of the premeditated and sadistic murder of his former partner and daughter. Fulford also presided over the Trial of Jiervon Barlett and Najed Hoque who were accused of the manslaughter of Paula Castle, a woman mugged in Greenford West London. He sentenced them to 13 years [5][6]

Fulford was elected to serve as one of the 18 judges of the International Criminal Court in 2003 for a term of nine years, and is assigned to the Trial Division.[7] He was sworn into office on 11 March 2003.[8] He presided over the ICC's first trial, that of Thomas Lubanga,[9] and delivered the court's first guilty verdict on 14 March 2012.[10]

On 10 May 2013, Fulford was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal.[11]
