Sir George Malcolm Hilbery (14 July 1883 – 18 September 1965) was a British barrister and High Court judge.
The son of a City solicitor, Hilbery was educated at University College School, and was called to the bar by Gray's Inn in 1907. In 1927 he was elected a bencher of his Inn and appointed Recorder of Margate. He took silk in 1928.[1] In 1935, he was appointed to the High Court and assigned to the King's Bench Division, receiving the customary knighthood the same year. In 1959 he was made a privy councillor. He retired in 1962.
Hilbery wrote Duty and Art in Advocacy, which was first published in 1946. For many years a copy of this little book was presented to every Barrister on their being called to the Bar by The Honourable Society of Gray's Inn.[2]
