InfoJoanna Cherry KC has been in practice as an Advocate for about 20 years.

She became a QC in 2009 and is ranked by the Legal 500 as one of the leading KCs in Scotland. She previously held the offices of Standing Junior Counsel to the Scottish Government and Advocate Depute and she was one of the first specialist sex crimes prosecutors in the Crown Office’s pioneering National Sex Crimes Unit. She has appeared at the UK Supreme Court on a number of occasions, including twice on behalf of the Lord Advocate.

She recently co-authored the textbook “Mental Health and Scots Law in Practice’ (2nd edition).

Joanna has been a member of the SNP since 2008 and is a long term supporter of independence and home rule. During the Referendum she co-founded and led “Lawyers for Yes”, a group of around 200 lawyers who had a high profile during the campaign.
