The Right Honourable Sir Christopher Rose
Personal details
Nationality	British

Sir Christopher Rose (born 10 February 1937) was a judge, as Lord Justice Rose, in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales and a member of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. He became Vice-President of the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal. On 24 April 2006 he retired.

During his time on the Court of Appeal he was an outspoken critic of recent legislation, in particular the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which he criticised as being poorly drafted, saying: "If a history of criminal legislation ever comes to be written it is unlikely that 2003 will be identified as a year of exemplary skill in the annals of Parliamentary drafting."^[1]

In 1957 he obtained a degree in law from the University of Leeds.
