Edward Fitzgerald (barrister)
Edward Hamilton Fitzgerald CBE QC is an English barrister who specialises in criminal law, public law, and international human rights law. His work against the death penalty has led him to represent despised criminals such as: Myra Hindley, a perpetrator in the Moors murders; Mary Bell, a child killer; Maxine Carr; Jon Venables, one of James Bulger's killers; various IRA prisoners; and Abu Hamza, the controversial Muslim cleric. Fitzgerald is currently the joint head of Doughty Street Chambers along with Geoffrey Robertson QC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.legal500.com/firms/9303/offices/9303 )〕 Fitzgerald has been called to the Bar in a number of jurisdictions including Belize, Grenada and St Vincent, and has been granted rights of audience to appear in cases in Hong Kong, Trinidad and Tobago, St Lucia, Bahamas, and the British Virgin Islands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.deathpenaltyproject.org/content_pages/8 )〕 He is also a trustee and patron of a number of charities including The Death Penalty Project and The Longford Trust.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.longfordtrust.org/our_people.php )〕
==Early life and education==
Fitzgerald was educated at Ladycross Preparatory School in Seaford, and then Downside School in Stratton-on-the-Fosse, Somerset, England, where he joined Barlow House.〔 Dom Raphael Appleby, the house master, introduced him to the art of debate and honed his skills. He also encouraged the boys to help those less fortunate than themselves with visits to the nearby Cheshire Homes, and thus encouraged them to bring justice and peace to the oppressed. Dom Raphael introduced him to the concept of social justice and encouraged thought about prisons and prisoners. Another of this monk’s beliefs was that problems and disputes should be resolved by argument. Fitzgerald went onto study at Corpus Christi College, Oxford where he read Literae Humaniores (Classics), and graduated with a Congratulatory First. At Oxford, Fitzgerald played rugby for Corpus Christi, became involved in College politics, was elected secretary of the Junior Common Room, spoke regularly at the Oxford Union, wrote for the University paper, and edited the College magazine. After finishing his degree, Fitzgerald signed up to the two-year Bar course and then took a year off. He volunteered as a drama teacher at Kingswood reformatory, Bristol, for six months where Derek Bentley had been sent several years before. This proved to be inspirational and he decided that working with prisoners appealed to him. Halfway through the year, he moved to work for Mind. He then resumed his legal career with a one-year pupillage, before going up to Cambridge. Fitzgerald studied at the Institute of Criminology, Cambridge, leaving with a Master of Philosophy degree. He also qualified in New York and in American law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.legalhub.co.uk/legalhub/app/document?rs=BOL1.0&vr=1.0&src=rl&srguid=ia744cc6400000131ee7be19cd3daba07&docguid=I62e66d908bcc11dcaa9aaaaa0e13eb96&hitguid=I62e66d908bcc11dcaa9aaaaa0e13eb96&spos=6&epos=6&td=7&bctocguid=Ide6206400caa11d9b720e55d2b60bfda&bchistory=5;&ststate=S&ctype=The%20Bar%20Directory&page=0&sibs=&toc-search= )〕
