George Drewry Squibb LVO BCL MA FSA FRHistS FSG QC JP (1 December 1906 – 3 January 1994) was a British lawyer, herald and antiquary who is most noted for his participation in the celebrated 1954 case of Manchester Corporation v Manchester Palace of Varieties Ltd [1955] [1] in the High Court of Chivalry, the first (and to date only) case heard by that court for over two hundred years.[2]
In his opening arguments in that case, Squibb, who was simultaneously, a distinguished barrister, a doctor of laws, and a historian, argued, to the satisfaction of the court, that since the modern class of Doctors of Laws were no longer trained as advocates, their role must necessarily be performed by barristers. This was because Victorian reforms, which had unified the other classes of court attorney into the single profession of Barrister, had overlooked the Doctors of Law.
