Douglas Hogg, 1st Viscount Hailsham

Douglas McGarel Hogg, 1st Viscount Hailsham, PC (28 February 1872 - 16 August 1950) was a British Conservative lawyer and politician.

Hogg was the son of the merchant and philanthropist Quintin Hogg.

He was a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn and served as Lord Chancellor in the UK Conservative government of 1928-29.

He was one of the foremost advocates of his age, and as Attorney-General piloted through the House of Commons the Trade Disputes Act of 1927, which reaffirmed and fortified the rule of law after the general strike.

He married Elizabeth Marjoribanks, widow of Archibald Marjoribanks, in 1905 and they had two sons, Quintin Hogg, Lord Hailsham of St Marylebone and another Hogg.
