About Alfred Hazel

Lived 1869 – 1944 (aged 75). Alfred Hazel was a British politician.

Alfred Ernest William Hazel (20 February 1869 – 20 August 1944) was a British Liberal Party Member of Parliament (MP) and legal academic at the University of Oxford.

Background 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. He graduated with first-class honours and won the Eldon Law Scholarship.

He was re-selected as prospective Liberal candidate for West Bromwich and was to fight a general election expected in 1914/15 which was postponed due to the outbreak of war. When the election eventually took place in 1918, the partners in the Coalition Government decided to endorse his Unionist opponent so he withdrew from the contest. He did not stand for parliament again.

Career outside politics He was Reader in Constitutional Law at the Inns of Court from 1910 to 1926. In 1925, he was appointed Principal of Jesus College, and in 1930 he was appointed to the King's Counsel.

Personal life

In 1919, he married Ethel Percival, with whom he had one son. He died in Oxford in 1944.
