Alfred Ernest William Hazel
He was educated at West Bromwich Wesleyan School and King Edward's School, Birmingham before going to study Classics and Law at Jesus College, Oxford.[2] He graduated with first-class honours and won the Eldon Law Scholarship.[2] He was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1898, and was appointed to a Fellowship in Law at Jesus College in the same year.[2][3] He was MP for West Bromwich between 1906 (when the Liberal Party won a large majority) and January 1910 (when the Liberal Party lost 125 seats, including West Bromwich).[2] Hazel himself lost his seat by just four votes, after a recount.[3]
He was Reader in Constitutional Law at the Inns of Court from 1910 to 1926.[2] In 1915, he also became University Lecturer on Criminal Law and the Law of Evidence at Oxford, a position he held until 1922, when he was appointed All Souls Reader in English Law (until 1933).[2] Between 1915 and 1919, he was Deputy Controller in the Priority Department of the Ministry of Munitions.[2] In 1918, he was awarded the CBE.[2] In 1925, he was appointed Principal of Jesus College, and in 1930 he was made a KC.[2] He was also Recorder of Burton-on-Trent between 1912 and 1938.[2] Some accommodation for students at Jesus College is now named after Hazel.[4]
Hazel also played football for West Bromwich Albion F.C. and later became a director of the club.[3]
