Joshua Rufus Rozenberg (born 30 May 1950) is a British legal commentator and journalist.
He was educated at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith and Wadham College, University of Oxford, where he took a law degree. He qualified as a solicitor in 1976, at Dixon Ward solicitors in Richmond, Surrey.
Rozenberg began his career in journalism at the BBC in 1975,[1] where he launched Law in Action on BBC Radio 4 in 1984.[2] At the BBC he worked across all media formats, providing legal commentary on major cases and where legal affairs affected a headline story. In 2000 he joined the Daily Telegraph as Legal Affairs Editor,[3] where he remained until the end of 2008.[1][4] He also wrote a column for the Evening Standard.[5]
Now a freelance journalist, he writes regular columns for the Law Society Gazette, Law Business Review and Standpoint magazine. In May 2010 he started writing a weekly blog for The Guardian's online law page. On 8 June 2010, he returned to the BBC to present Law in Action, 25 years after starting the radio programme.[2][6]
Rozenberg holds an honorary doctorate in law from the University of Hertfordshire, is an honorary bencher of Gray's Inn, and is accredited as a mediator by the ADR group. He has won the Bar Council's Legal Reporting Award four times.[2]
Rozenberg is married to fellow journalist Melanie Phillips; the couple have two children.[3]
