Michael Beloff

The Honourable Michael Jacob Beloff QC (b. 1942) is a prominent English barrister. His adoption of the title or style "The Honourable" is a consequence of his father Max Beloff, Baron Beloff, having been awarded a life peerage in 1981. A member of Blackstone Chambers, Beloff practises in a number of areas including human rights and administrative law.

Career

He was educated at the Dragon School, Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, and was President of the Union. He was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn, where he later became a Bencher and was the Treasurer for 2008.

He served as President of Trinity College, Oxford from 1996 to 2006, when he handed over tenure to Ivor Roberts.

He recently represented Fulham in the Independent Arbitration Panel for the case Sheffield United v FA Premier League. On 3 July 2007, the panel dismissed the claim by Fulham F.C. and Sheffield United F.C.

The term Plate glass university stems from the title of his book "The Plateglass Universities" (1970).
