Judge Menary Retires with Legacy | Liverpool News

Liverpool Crown Court honored its esteemed Recorder, Andrew Menary, in a moving retirement ceremony, celebrating his 43-year legal journey—from winning his first 32 jury trials to becoming a Queen’s Counsel and leading the court through the pandemic with remarkable efficiency. Despite the chaos of COVID-19, Liverpool’s court maintained the UK’s shortest case backlog, a feat praised by top judges including Lord Justice Edis and Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr, who lauded his calm, steady leadership. Menary, humbled by the accolades, credited his success to the city, his team, and colleagues—not himself. He also paid heartfelt tribute to his longtime usher, Jayne, retiring after 24 years, saying he’ll miss the people most of all.
