Lord Chorley, LSE Staff, Department of Law 1924-1946

1895-1978 'For many years he was very closely connected with the life of LSE, since 1924 as a lecturer in commercial law, and subsequently, from 1930 to 1946, as Sir Ernest Cassel Professor of Commercial and Industrial Law. He was made a peer in 1945, and in the following year, having been appointed Lord in Waiting in Clement Attlee's Government, he resigned from the Chair. But for years he continued on a part-time basis to teach the special subjects which he had made particularly his own, and to supervise research students. To the end of his days he maintained his links with the School. They were strengthened when in 1970 the School recognised his services by making him an honorary fellow.' Extract from his obituary by Otto Kahn Freund, LSE Magazine, June 1978, No55, p.8
