This has been a work all of my own up to this point, so I will leave a few pointers for other editors:
Many entries are missing, particularly the ones appointed since 2000, as I do not have access to a recent-enough edition of Burke's or Debrett's. Lady Hale is especially annoying in this regard as a great many newspapers have commented on her coat of arms but none actually show it, let alone give the blazon. I once found a photograph purporting to be her lozenge some years ago and recreated it for use here but as I could find little accreditation for the source it was swiftly deleted.
Many of the entries listed need to be sourced and cited again. I originally got the information from Cracroft's Peerage but that is now deprecated so they need to be checked against the relevant Burke's or Debrett's instead.
I am still unsure as the the significance of "Lord of Appeal" vs "Lord of Appeal in Ordinary". So far as I can gather any member of the committee was a Lord of Appeal but "in Ordinary" referred specifically to those ennobled under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876. Many references, however, make no such distinction.
