by Alexander Handyside Ritchie

Cockburn was a distinguished advocate and judge. He was one of the leaders of the Whig party in Scotland in the period before the Reform Act of 1832. Cockburn's main purposes as a reformer were to bring about a wider parliamentary franchise, more and fairer juries and an elected clergy. On the accession of Earl Grey's ministry in 1830, he became Solicitor-General for Scotland. He was jointly charged with drafting the Scottish Reform Bill. He was made a judge in 1834.
