Sir Frederick Geoffrey Lawrence QC (5 April 1902 – 3 February 1967) was a British lawyer, High Court Judge, Chairman of the Bar Council and Chairman of the National Incomes Commission.〔Cullen, Pamela V., ''A Stranger in Blood: The Case Files on Dr John Bodkin Adams'' London, Elliott & Thompson, 2006, ISBN 1-904027-19-9〕 He first came to prominence when he defended suspected serial killer Dr John Bodkin Adams in 1957, the first murder case he handled.〔 Press coverage of the case prior to the trial suggested Adams was guilty and that the verdict would be a foregone conclusion, but Lawrence successfully secured an acquittal.〔Devlin, Patrick. ''Easing the passing: The trial of Doctor John Bodkin Adams'', London, The Bodley Head, 1985.〕 Adams, if convicted, would have hanged.〔 (Considerable, later investigation suggested Adams was acquitted largely due to inadequate prosecution preparations.) ==Early life== The son of a master butcher and a singing teacher, Lawrence was educated at the City of London School before going up to New College, Oxford. He enjoyed a variety of sports, but his main recreation was music, being an accomplished pianist and violinist. He was President of the University Musical Club. After graduation he acted as tutor to two sons of Jan Masaryk, travelling with the family to the United States of America, and Prague. They remained close friends until the murder of Masaryk during the Czech coup in 1948. Having decided to enter the law, Lawrence was awarded a Harmsworth scholarship and became a pupil to Eric Neve, being called to the Bar in 1930 from Middle Temple.
