Edward Law, 1st Baron Ellenborough, PC, FSA (16 November 1750 – 13 December 1818), was an English judge. After serving as a member of parliament and Attorney General, he became Lord Chief Justice.
Ellenborough’s severity in criminal matters was legendary. An Act of Parliament, introduced when he was Chief Justice, bears his name. Its short title is the Malicious Shooting or Stabbing Bill.
