My Take
I find Lord Reed quietly compelling. A Scot educated at Edinburgh, he rose to the very top of British justice as President of the Supreme Court, and his Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh hints at a mind that ranges beyond the bench. What draws me is the nature of the work itself: judging is the opposite of applause-seeking. Someone has to read the law coldly, weigh it carefully, and hold the line on fairness so the rest of society can function. To me, that unflashy, load-bearing role is among the most genuinely admirable lives a person can lead.
