Christopher Clogg
Edit ProfileEducation
Christopher Clogg earned a Master of Arts degree from the University of Oxford. Oxford's collegiate system organizes students into individual colleges while the university itself awards degrees, and its Master of Arts is conferred on graduates after a period following their first degree rather than through further examination.
He was admitted to the bar in England in 1965. In England, barristers are called to the bar by one of the four Inns of Court, and this professional admission is separate from university study.
Career
Christopher Clogg was a partner of Theodore Goddard, a London law firm. The firm was founded in 1902 by John Theodore Goddard, an English solicitor who first built a litigation practice on the London court circuit and then attracted the newly created office of the Public Trustee as a client. By 1946 the firm had eight partners, and in 1936 its founder drew national attention when he represented Wallis Simpson in her divorce proceedings.
During the Second World War, air raids of the Blitz destroyed the firm's premises and most of its records and clients' papers, after which it relocated to New Court, behind the Law Courts. Theodore Goddard merged with Addleshaw Booth & Co on 1 May 2003 to form Addleshaw Goddard, a larger partnership with an international network.
