Harold Lightman
Harold Lightman QC (8 April 1906, Leeds-27 September 1998, London) was an English barrister, who was awarded the unique honour of a dinner at Lincoln's Inn to celebrate his 90th birthday.
== Early life ==
Harold Lightman was the son of a Lithuanian refugee, who had fled to Leeds, England, and then spent a some time in Australia. He returned to Leeds, married a Scottish born Jewess of German parentage. His father set up a furniture-making business in Leeds. Lightman was educated at the City of Leeds School until he was 14, when he began to get bad headaches. He then worked in his father's factory, and at the age of 18 found out that his headaches were due to myopia and were cured by wearing glasses. Then, while his father was on holiday, he did a good deal for the business; his reward of £100 allowed him to study at evening classes in Leeds, and qualify as an accountant.
By 1927, aged 21, he was a partner in an accountancy firm, the director of two manufacturing companies, and had written a book on company financing. He joined the Liberal Party, having already, aged just 17, shared a platform with David Lloyd George. He was the Liberal candidate for the Bramley ward in the 1927 Leeds City Council election. He failed to be elected, but was offered three Parliamentary candidatures for the 1929 General Election. However, he decided to study for the Bar rather than stand for Parliament.
