Anthony Julius
Anthony Robert Julius (born 16 July 1956) is a British solicitor advocate known for being Diana, Princess of Wales' divorce lawyer and for representing Deborah Lipstadt. He is the deputy chairman at the law firm Mishcon de Reya and honorary solicitor to the Foundation for Jewish Heritage.
He holds the chair in Law and Arts in the Faculty of Laws at University College London and teaches courses on Shakespeare, Kant, and William Empson. He is also a visiting professor at the University of Haifa.
The son of a London menswear retailer who died young from a brain tumour, Julius was educated at the City of London School. He studied English literature at Jesus College, Cambridge, graduating in 1977 with a first class degree; in the mid-1990s he completed a PhD in English literature at University College London under the novelist and academic Dan Jacobson. He joined the Bloomsbury law firm Mishcon de Reya in 1979, becoming a partner in 1984. Currently, he is deputy chairman of the firm.
Julius is a commercial litigator. He is a specialist in the fields of defamation, international trade disputes, and media law. He has been a solicitor advocate since at least 2001, which allows him to act as a barrister in so far as he can now appear in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.[citation needed]
He was selected by Diana, Princess of Wales, as her legal representative when she divorced Charles, Prince of Wales, in 1996. He was vice-president of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, until it closed in 2012. He was one of the charity's founding trustees and its first chairman until 1999.
He represented Deborah Lipstadt, successfully defending her in Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt, with Richard Rampton QC, against a libel suit brought against her by the Holocaust denier David Irving. Lipstadt and her publishers were vindicated by the judge's ruling in April 2000. A feature film about the case, Denial, with Andrew Scott playing Julius, was released in 2016.
Julius is legal advisor to the Foundation of Jewish Heritage.
Julius is an advisory editor at the current affairs journal Fathom. He was a founding member of Engage and the Euston Manifesto.[citation needed] From 2011 to 2014 he was chairman of the board of The Jewish Chronicle.
