The Senior Presiding Judge for England and Wales is a member of the Court of Appeal appointed by the Lord Chief Justice to supervise the Presiding Judges for the various judicial circuits of England and Wales. At least two Presiding Judges are appointed by the Lord Chief Justice for each of six circuits to supervise the work of the local judiciary (circuit judges, district judges, recorders, and magistrates). The Senior Presiding Judge is responsible for deployment and personnel issues for all circuits and acts as a "general point of liaison" for the courts, judiciary and Government.
