Mark Lucraft
Mark Lucraft, KC (born 1961 or 1962) is a British jurist and was Chief Coroner of England and Wales—the second person to occupy the role—from 2016 to 2020. In 2020—before relinquishing the role of Chief Coroner—he became Recorder of London, the senior judge at the Old Bailey. The roles were allowed to overlap due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By tradition, the Recorder of London is also appointed High Steward of Southwark, and Lucraft accordingly occupies this role. Lucraft was educated in law at the University of Kent's law school, graduating in 1983. He was called to the bar in 1984. He became a recorder in 2003, a King's Counsel (KC) in 2006, and a Senior Circuit Judge at the Central Criminal Court in 2017. As Chief Coroner, he presided over the inquests into the 2017 Westminster attack and 2017 London Bridge attack. As of April 2021, he is presiding over the inquest into the 2019 London Bridge stabbings, which first opened in December 2019. See also *2017 Lond ...

King's Counsel
In the United Kingdom and in some Commonwealth countries, a King's Counsel ( post-nominal initials KC) during the reign of a king, or Queen's Counsel (post-nominal initials QC) during the reign of a queen, is a lawyer (usually a barrister or advocate) who is typically a senior trial lawyer. Technically appointed by the monarch of the country to be one of 'His erMajesty's Counsel learned in the law', the position originated in England and Wales. Some Commonwealth countries have either abolished the position, or renamed it so as to remove monarchical connotations, for example, 'Senior counsel' or 'Senior Advocate'. Appointment as King's Counsel is an office, conferred by the Crown, that is recognised by courts. Members have the privilege of sitting within the inner bar of court. As members wear silk gowns of a particular design (see court dress), appointment as King's Counsel is known informally as ''receiving, obtaining,'' or ''taking silk'' and KCs are often colloquially ca ...
